  • Ticket #269 – Description

    initial v1  
    11Test program fld59 accepts a fixed-point string with optional exponent sub-field, and uses the PL/I convert built-in to change this string to a float dec(59) data type. 
    22
    3 Results of using this program to convert strings within and just outside of the support exponent range for float dec(59) show correct signaling of exponent overflow and underflow when outside the supported range:  -128 <= exponent <= +127.

     59Because oncode values are just numbers having no names, it isn't clear whether the wrong oncode number is associated with F-exponent underflow and overflow; or the correct oncode is being used but the message table containing the description associated with those encode values (oncode_messages_$) is wrong.
