Hello Jose Blanco,
I do have a NetRexx Picture Editing routine, which will allow you PICTURE Editing as in COBOL, written by Walter Pachl long time ago. When you are intereted, I could send you the Java Library containing his routine. May I also advise you to sumscribe ibm-netrexx, which is the Forum for those type of questions. With copy to ibm-netrexx I do ask members of this list wether they do have a more appropriate answer to Jose Blanco ?

Hello Wade,
It definitley has been my failure. Mike Cowlishaw, who is the author of NetRexx, has also an implementation of a package called BigDecimal which implements numbers at any precision. I simply thought the question has been relating to Mike's implementation, and did *not* think at Java's own BigDecimal at all, as I'm always using NetRexx only. Sorry for any inconvenience my answer might have caused (in both groups). It was for sure *not* intended! Sincerely, Thomas Schneider. ========================================================== Am 05.12.2010 17:23, schrieb Wade Chandler: > Strange email Tom.

Thomas,
although Mike's BigDecimal is definitely related to Java's current implementation, please do observe simple rules about mailing lists. Try to be on-topic and do not cross-post. We receive numerous complaints and we cannot go on like this.

Thomas,
This is not making any good to NetRexx PR wise...
It seems also you didn't get your facts right. As far as I know java's big decimal comes from some JSR which was both originally proposed by MFC and coded in NetRexx using the Rexx class. I'm sure MFC himself will be able to give the exact details.
It's a pity. You could have advised to use Rexx class from NetRexxR.jar instead of BigDecimal or something along the lines (of course using third party libraries in Netbeans is on-topic at that list).
That could even have atracted attention from a couple java devs to NetRexx! As things are, they just got generally anoyed :-(

Hash: SHA1 Hi all, the worst thing of all is that the topic of the sender is all about formatting, not the BigDecimal class and it's history. NetRexx does't have any functionality to solve this (in a proper way, that is) with it's own Rexx class, so the best way to do this is using the the DecimalFormat class as such: import java.math.BigDecimal import java.util.Locale import java.text.NumberFormat l=Locale('es','CO') f=NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(l) d=BigDecimal("25000") s=f.format(d) say d" -> "s d2=f.parse(s) say s" -> "d That should help. If you need custom formats, use the java.text.DecimalFormat, it uses the "Excel"-Notation for formatting, eg "#,##0.00". I hope that was the last unqualified and completely disturbing cross post by Thomas now.
