Bill asked: >One thing I've heard is that V4R5 will include 8-byte binary field support. >Does anyone (are you listening IBM?) know what the biggest number will be >that will fit in an 8-byte binary field? I need the value to enhance WRKDBF >to support these biggies. If I understand correctly, 8-byte binary fields in DDS will hold a maximum value of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. ie, 2**63-1. The ILE RPG compiler will handle DDS 8-byte binaries just like RPG's integer types, and not like regular DDS or RPG 4-byte binary decimals. Cheers!
