Hello Everybody,

There must be a function in WebFOCUS to raise a number to a power(like 2 to the power of 64). I searched in the forums and documentation. I could not find it. Can somebody please help ?

Thanks,
Shravan

I think I found the answer. I was searching using the key words "raise to the power" and "to the power". I found the answer when I searched using the key word "Exponentiation". If anybody still wants to know how you raise x to the nth power, here is how we do it.

 COMPUTE RAISEIT/I5 = x**n;

I had forgotten about that.

Thanks for the tip Shravan.

You may want to edit your original post's title and prefix it with [SHARING] for easy reference.

Corollary:
x**.5 is square root
x**(1/3) would be cube root, etc

Nice! Very nice!
