The following CA OPS/MVS components use OPS/REXX:
The following example illustrates this difference:
/* REXX */ numeric digits 5 a = 2147483646+1 say a
OPS/REXX output is: 2147483647
IBM REXX output is: 2.1475E+9
Note: OPS/REXX is not strictly correct in its numeric processing but the performance advantages are significant and CA does not intend to change OPS/REXX to comply with the REXX language definition in this case. For performance reasons CA recommends that, unless your REXX program requires greater precision, you allow NUMERIC DIGITS to default to 9.
