FLOATDEC Function

Parameters

x

An expression.

p

A restricted expression specifying the total number of digits in the result. This value must not exceed the implementation limit. If omitted, the precision is derived from the source as follows, where M is the maximum Fixed Binary precision and N is the maximum Fixed Decimal precision:

Source code	Result
FIXED BIN(p,q)	FLOAT DEC(r) where r = CEIL(p/3.32)
FIXED DEC(p,q)	FLOAT DEC(p)
FLOAT BIN(p)	FLOAT DEC(r) where r = CEIL(p/3.32)
FLOAT DEC(p)	FLOAT DEC(p)
BIT	FLOAT DEC(r) where r = CEIL(M/3.32)
CHAR, GRAPHIC or WIDECHAR	FLOAT DEC(N)
