An M indicates that the default precision rules are used.

Subject: Simple RPG question (because the docs are worthless)
Hi,
What does the "operation extender" M means I know R and H, but not M.
I tried to look into the RPG docs, at opcode "eval" which seems to me a
logical place to document this, but no. The extenders are mentioned but i
can't find the doc for M (or R or H). When i click "precision rules" i get
to see doc about "operation extender" R.
Man how bad is the RPG documentation on IBM's site. It's terrible.
How on earth is somebody not already having 20+ years of experience in RPG
ever going to find some info. A simple function like "half adjust" is buried
as some "operation extender" (instead of a normal half-adjust function or
BIF or whatever), and the doc on this "operation extender" H is almost
impossible to find.
Pff, the only thing worse would be no doc at all. Terrible.
Sorry for the rant...
