I seem to remember something said about an extension to packed
decimal and new instructions. I've been looking at a recent
z/Arch PoOP in pdf (IBM web site), and I can't seem to find what
I hazily remember from a few years ago. Perhaps it is in a
different publication.
Could someone point me in the right direction, even if that is,
you must have been dreaming.
The issue is, how can COBOL handle larger packed decimal numbers
than PACK/UNPACK can handle?
I see this being a question that is going to get asked on a
project I'm on.... And I can see special macros having to be
developed for this....
