Take a look at the web page that the presentation is posted on
(http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/). There is some interesting
information there, as well:
IBM has added support for the decimal types in XL C/C++ for AIX and
Linux and z/OS, and in DB2 for z/OS, and is also adding support to many
other software products including DB2 V9.2 for Linux/Unix/Windows, z/VM
V5.2, Enterprise PL/I, the dbx debugger, and Debug Tool Version 8.1.
I wonder does the mention of z/VM 5.2 imply that the current Rexx
interpreter for that environment will be upgrade to use this new decimal
types?
