This field specifies the arithmetic mode for numeric data.
To specify the arithmetic mode, click on the down arrow to select one of
the following choices:
- *CMDDFT
- No parameter will be passed to the host and the host-defined default will
be used.
- *NOEXTEND
- This option specifies the default arithmetic mode for numeric data.
The intermediate result of a fixed-point arithmetic expression can be up to 30
digits and numeric literals may only have a maximum length of 18
digits.
- *EXTEND31
- Use this option to increase the precision of intermediate results for
fixed-point arithmetic. The intermediate result of a fixed-point
arithmetic expression can be up to 31 digits and numeric literals may have a
maximum length of 31 digits.
- *EXTEND63
- Use this option to increase the precision of intermediate results for
fixed-point arithmetic. The intermediate result of a fixed-point
arithmetic expression can be up to 63 digits and numeric literals may have a
maximum length of 63 digits.
