An item of type SMALLFLOAT is interpreted as a binary value for single-precision floating-point numbers with as many as 8 significant digits. The length is fixed at 4 bytes of memory storage.
In EGL-generated Java™ programs, the value ranges from 3.40282347e+38 to 1.40239846e-45.
For floating-point values, format conversion between Java and host COBOL formats is supported by DB2® but is not supported on calls to host programs.
