More than double precision numbers
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 03:07 PM

Hi to all,
I just learned that the precision of calculations is the same for Clipper 5.3, Harbour and xHarbour.
using SET DECIMALS TO 17 gives 17 decimal numbers, but only calculates 15 significant numbers (the last two, are zeroes).
Is there some way to get more calculated decimal numbers? I need at least 20.
TIA, Euclides

Euclides,

The best you can do is to report it in the Harbour development list :-)
