*hival as far as I knew has no end... isn't it an infinite number?
Nope, there are no infinite numbers in computing.

IEEE floats can represent infinite numbers:http://steve.hollasch.net/cgindex/coding/ieeefloat.html

Although, RPG balks at divide by zero, even with floating point.

Too bad DOW doesn't support numbers :-)
