Hi, Brad:

I don't think you can do that directly... but, IBM ILE C/400 has
built-in support for packed decimal data types, so you can just
declare your parameter as "decimal " and it should be ok... then,
you can always convert to float if needed, using an assignment
statement, if you really need it as a "float".

Regards,

Mark S. Waterbury
