Hi,
See in REXX there is no need to declare any field u can straight a way use that
That is the compatibility in ress..
So i Believe this will not help by any means
Thanks

You believe wrong !
expat is right
please try this
| Code: |
say "default numeric digits"
a = 87434358749 + 1
say " a= " a
say " numeric digits 11 "
numeric digits 11
a = 87434358749 + 1
say " a= " a
say " numeric digits 12 "
numeric digits 12
a = 87434358749 + 1
say " a= " a
|
In REXX You do not declare each field' s characteristics,
with "NUMERIC DIGITS" and "NUMERIC FUZZ" You give to the rexx interpreter a default on how to carry on arithmetics and comparisons
