Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The possible values of arith-type are:
 
       OSVS    Truncate according to the rules of OS/VS COBOL.
       VSC2    Truncate according to the rules of VS COBOL II and
               COBOL/370.
       MF      Do not truncate intermediate results.
 
     With ARITHMETIC "MF" specified, expressions are calculated as
     accurately as possible because no truncation takes place.
