Must be of class numeric.

The EXP function produces return values that are identical to the Language Environment callable service CEESDEXP when ARITH(COMPAT) is in effect and CEESQEXP when ARITH(EXTEND) is in effect. The COBOL expression, (FUNCTION E ** (argument-1)), is an approximation of this value.
