EGL Reference Guide for iSeries

math

The build descriptor option math specifies whether to do arithmetic calculations based on CSP math, which is used in some COBOL programs that were written either with IBM Cross System Product (CSP) or with VisualAge Generator. You might choose CSP math if your EGL-generated program interacts with an older application. Otherwise, accept the default, which is COBOL.

This option is meaningful only if you are generating a COBOL program.

Valid values are as follows:

COBOL
Use COBOL truncation algorithms, which may provide faster performance, smaller load module size, and better accuracy.
CSPAE
Truncate intermediate arithemetic values to a number of significant digits. The number is equal to the number of significant digits for the memory area that holds the final result.
