Hola Pete. La rutina est� incluida, no hay que hacer nada especial. Porque con signo? no lo he pensado, pero ayer precisamente tenia un -1,00 en un campo pic S9(9)v99 en un as/400 y me lo devolvia como -1,0= Al ponerle el "call" ya me lo devolvia bien. Asi que "algo tiene que ver". Un saludo. -Manolo-
From: Alistair on 10 Jul 2010 15:54 The use of English and Spanish (I presume; No Habla Espanole) in this thread has made me wonder about the compilers used in non-English speaking countries: are they forced to use English or are there language options which allow the use of local languages?

If you mean for keywords, I have never seen one and doubt any compnay has ever produced one. I have never seen an option for any Open Source compiler that changed keywords into a lnaguage other than english. And, actually, the same goes for Operating Systems. I have never seen one with commands in anything but English. I remember working with a bunch of Turkish Army Officers at the US Army Programmer school back in 1980. Imagine trying to offer assistance when the COBOL statements are in English but all the "meaningful variable names" are in Turkish. :-) bill -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n.

What's even harder for some non-English countries is making data names they can understand when the local alphabet isn't supported. This is true with Sanskrit type languages. But the programmers all seem to be able to cope.
