I suspect the calculations are done using software libraries such as Java BigDecimal. Cowlishaw is cited as an author in that class. On z/OS they may include JIT intrinsics where possible and use Decimal FP. I've seen this in the Data Access Accelarator library.

John - the way to do what you want is with a dynamic table - then you can control the attributes for each 'cell' in the table. Dynamic tables aren't intuitive or easy to start with but once you start it does make sense. Check out John Kalinich's PGLITE (found where you get PDS). Lionel B.
