I am trying to do some calculations with some amper values that I receive. Every thing works fine till I come across large numbers, here is an example below. The result gives me ***'s.
Please advice.


-SET &ECHO=ALL;
SET DMPRECISION = 2
-SET &TR_VAL_M1 = 129391830.37 - 6469591.52 ;
-TYPE &TR_VAL_M1
-EXIT

Looks like you have hit a limit.

You may have to ask IBI about this.

Why do you need to do calcs on large numbers with DM ?

It seems as though calculations within DM are limited. However help is always at hand with the DEFINE FUNCTION:
-SET &ECHO=ALL;
SET DMPRECISION = 2
DEFINE FUNCTION SUB(operand/D20.2,subtractor/D20.2)
SUB/A20 =FTOA(operand-subtractor,'(D20.2c)','A20');
END
-RUN
-SET &TR_VAL_M1 = SUB(12345678901234567.12, 1234567.12) ;
-TYPE &TR_VAL_M1
-EXIT

which will handle larger numbers.

Awesome, Alan.

I keep forgetting you can use define functions with DM.

Good One
