I am writing a com procedure which compute a floating point value at the end. Looks like dcl does not support floating point value.
instead of 0.25 i get 0.
how to achieve this ?
i want com procedure to do the printing of the floating point value. even if i call c program from com procedure to compute floating point
value, how do i return it back to com procedure ?

Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionYour option is to maintain your data in strings, or to bias by 10 or 100 or similar hackery.
Here's a general write-up:

There are links there to lib$set_symbol and related calls over in Jim Duff's eight-cubed examples library.

Re: dcl and floating point values
You'll have to fake it with strings, and/or change the base unit. That is, do the math in Cents instead of Dollars or Meters instead of Kilometers. You many need to use 2 variables, one for the units, one for the fraction.
Of course then your next problem might be to it to run into the 31 bit 2Gb limitation.
Folks have created tools to deal with this, taking float arguments, return a dcl string symbol. For example:http://www.eight-cubed.com/downloads.html -- MATH
If I can not readily fake it then I try switching the whole script to AWK or PERL.
To help you with the best possible solution we'd need to know more details about what you intend to do.
Maybe and same input + desired output example?
(please use a .TXT for details and/or to maintain formatting if need be.)
Hope this helps some

Re: dcl and floating point values
Which link? For Jimm Duff's site I first needed to exploit the google cache, and from there I coudl get to math.zip.
On retry (to test the link in my reply) it worked directly though.

Re: dcl and floating point values
thank you for reply
i was not able to access link given by Hoff.
able to access the link you have given. i will try that.
# If I can not readily fake it then I try switching the
# whole script to AWK or PERL.
do you mean AWK/PERL can give more flexibilty than dcl com
procedures ?
any documents on these for me to get started.

Re: dcl and floating point values
procedures ?
If the bulk of the work is string manipulation then yes, absolutely.
Consider the following silly 'one liner':
$ perl -e "for (qx(show dev d/ful)){ $d=$1 if /^Disk\s+(\S+),/; $t=$1 if /al blocks\s+(\d+)/; printf qq(%20s %5.2f%%\n) ,$d,100*$1/$
t if /ee blocks\s+(\d+)/}"
EISNER$DKA0: 36.91%
EISNER$DRA1: 65.56%
EISNER$DRA2: 24.45%
EISNER$DRA3: 57.03%
EISNER$DRA4: 36.03%
EISNER$DRA6: 13.61%
EISNER$DVA0: 20.22%
But it would really help to understand what you want to calculate/process to help suggest what might be best.
