Declare a decimal number

[Juliette]

To declare an integer number, I know two ways:

dcl-s numberInteger packed(5:0);
dcl-s numberInt int(5);

Now, to declare a decimal number, I know only a statement

dcl-s numberDecimal  packed(5:2);

Do know you an other way, please?

Hi Juliette,

here's the Bible of any RPG programmers:

If you need an integer number I suggest type INT (integer) or UNS (Unsigned Integer).

For decimal number you can use Packed or Zoned.
