Arithmetic Values and Operators

OPS/REXX supports floating point arithmetic. Although you can set NUMERIC DIGITS higher than 9, higher values can impair performance.

OPS/REXX normalizes all values based on the NUMERIC digits setting before it performs any other operations with the value. Unless NUMERIC DIGITS is set to a value larger than the largest value in the program, the results will not be the same as in other REXX implementations.
