Numbers and Arithmetic

NetMaster REXX supports numbers with arbitrary precision, as does TSO/E REXX.

For efficiency, it is best if NUMERIC DIGITS 9 is in effect. Larger values require the use of slower arithmetic routines. Smaller values do not speed up things.

NetMaster REXX follows the standard REXX rules about preserving trailing zeros, and so on.

NetMaster REXX does not support the NUMERIC FORM statement.
