Re: int vs binary questions

Well maybe, but I tend to use 10I0 for all my work fields that don't require

numbers you can certainly use 20I0 and hopefully in V5R3 they will be 40i0
or 60i0 as well.

I think the choice between 10I0 and 20I0 is a matter of taste. I think it really only matters when you want to store a long list of numbers in an array, and the lesser storage requirements for using a smaller size /may/ make a difference in program performance.

No, there's no 16-byte integer/unsigned format in V5R3. But there are bigger decimal numerics. I really don't know why you'd need it, but RPG IV now supports up to 63 digit packed and zoned decimal variables.

Cheers! Hans
