Hi
Thank you.
Our problem is: which option and where to change to get the same result.
Till now we have ignored this differences( in AFP documents, position
difference sometimes in 1 pel),
but some of our customers are saying, they would like to get the same
result , in all platforms .

Can I expect with IEEE floating points, to get the same results in
Windows as in z/OS ?
(Seems to us till now, it is not the case, we are using LE C++ in zOS
and Windows Visual C++, but got differences)
Hi Miklos,
Unfortunately, no... the x86 processors support several alternative
sizes of IEEE floating pt values which alters the available precision.
Thus can affect floating point operations to yield different results.
Several x86 compilers offer options that restrict the use of these
alternate precisions.. so, in some circumstances you can alter your
x86 environment to match z/OS.
