Hi All,
One quick question!
How can we add 25 digit long numbers in COBOL. Looks like Numeric data has a limitation of 18 digits.
Thanks in advance! |

look at the cobol manuals and
search the forum for ARITH EXTENDED |

Default compiler option for a cobol program will be ARITH(COMPAT).With this compiler option we can do calculation only up to a 18-digit Number.
Please compile the program with the compile parameters ARITH(EXTEND) so that we can do calculation up to a 31-digit Number. |
