Re: Quadword constant
If you have more than an academic interest, there's always RFE, also not new. In my limited world, the need for writing constants > 2G has not really come up much. The famous =FDS12E6'1' is about it, and already works (one second in TOD format; multiples, up to a few hours at least, also work). sas On Thu, May 19, 2022 at 4:56 PM Paul Gilmartin < 0014e0e4a59b-dmarc-requ...@listserv.uga.edu> wrote: > > On May 19, 2022, at 14:39:49, Steve Smith wrote: > > > > AD > > > > This isn't new. > > > DCAD(100*100) > ??? > >

Re: Quadword constant
However, AD(2+2) works fine As long as the expression does not exceed a 32-bit signed value. Yes, it would be very useful if HLASM could resolve 64-bit arithmetic expressions, and it's a PITA that it doesn't.

Re: Quadword constant
FD is a fixed point doubleword.
