In a 60/40 (RPG to Cobol) shop, with no new cobol development...
Aside from special cases where integer and float may be needed...
For common "numeric" data, what is the best standard data type definition,
if choosing from decimal or numeric?
I do know decimal is packed and I have an "impression" that rpg is most
compatible with packed and will convert to packed under the covers when
needed. Not sure what I REALLY mean except that I would lean towards
decimal being the best standard choice in an RPG shop.
