Convert exponential to numberic

Postby storage » Sat Jul 24, 2010 6:23 pm

Hello All,

I have done some calculations and the output is exponential.
Can someone please suggest how to convert the exponential to proper numberic using Rexx.
I donot want the last digits to be converted to zero.
Example
Input:1.11111E+12
Output:1111111111111


Thanks

I do not know if it is possible. You can get the answer to display in scientific form by setting the value of DIGITS to more than the default of 9 by using NUMERIC DIGITS(x) where x is the value to set DIGITS to. Setting it to 13 for the example shown gives a result of 1111110000000. If your 1.11111E+12 is calculate within your rexx program set DIGITS before doing your calculation.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
