I detest quiet truncation. It's hardly better if it takes an inordinately long time. Another possible resolution, with its own performance consequence, is for the compiler-generated code to test (every time) whether overflow is about to occur and handle it as a special case. It might be better just to abandon the use of DFP. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
