Hello all,
I have the below code getting a size error. Could you please help me fix this issue?
DCL (V1,V2) FIXED DEC (15,2);
V1 = 10.75;
V2 = MULTIPLY(V1,100,15,2);
I tried changing the the statements as below but still MULTIPLY fails. Could someone help me understand how MULTIPLY works? Thank you!
V2 = MULTIPLY(V1,100,13,2);
V2 = MULTIPLY(V1,100,17,2); |

What version of PL/1 is it?
I know there were issues in the early versions of PL/1 and IBM has released PTFs to fix these. |

You've got to be kidding, I've been using PL/I since 1985 and have never heard about any problems with the MULTIPLY function.
Supply info about the PTF's and which versions of PL/I they apply to! |

Language Environment was introduced, IIRC, in 1996. Any PL/I compiler from before that time would have been withdrawn years ago. I very seriously doubt that the OP's shop is performing its own support of a very obsolete compiler; even modern IT managers aren't that moronically miserly. |

found an issue with MULTIPLY
or found lousy code?
and lousy code is code the works,
but does not completely follow the advise of the manuals.
IBM is pretty good about telling you
when an upgrade will invalidate properly written code.
IBM does not really have any sympathy for clowns who think they are slick. |

So what was the exact issue with MULTIPLY?
I've had a look at all PL/I APAR's for EPLI V3.7 to V4.1 and there isn't a single one that relates to errors with the MULTIPLY builtin. |
