MULTIPLY returns the product of x and y, with
a precision specified by p and q. The base, scale, and mode of the result are determined by the rules for expression evaluation unless overruled by the PRECTYPE compiler option.

- x
and y
- Expressions.
- p
- Restricted expression that specifies the number of digits
to be maintained throughout the operation.
- q
- Restricted expression that specifies the scaling factor of
the result. For a fixed-point result, if q is omitted,
a scaling factor of zero is assumed. For a floating-point result, q must
be omitted.
Note that when applied to FIXED DECIMAL,
then
if the mathematical result is too big for the specified precision p
but less than the maximum implementation value,
- if SIZE is disabled, the FIXEDOVERFLOW condition will not be raised and the result will be truncated
- if SIZE is enabled, the SIZE condition will be raised
