Java has classes for arbitrary-precision floating point numbers and arbitrary-precision integers, named java.math.BigDecimal and java.math.BigInteger, respectively. In V5R1+, you can call java methods directly from ILE RPG IV, C or COBOL, so you could write a small ILE "wrapper" program to allow calling from any OPM language, (even MI), to use this support. Or, since java is "open source" you could also study the code that implements BigDecimal and BigInteger to see how they did it, and then write your own equivalent routines in MI. ;-) For a definitive book of mathematical algorithms, try: The Art of Computer Programming Volume 2 Seminumerical Algorithms by Donald Knuth Third Edition 1997 Addison-Wesley ISBN 0-201-89684-2 Regards, Mark S.
