For those of you who need to perform calculations with precision better than 16 in VFP6 there is a new file YMORE16.exe to download from
WWW.FOXITE.COM.
YMORE16 works with positive and negative numbers written and stored as STRING.
YMORE16 performs addition or subtraction on two numbers and returns the result as a STRING.
Limits on number of decimals remain the same: maximum number of decimal places is 18 and the minimum is zero.
Syntax examples:
?ymore16("123456789012345.1234589", "+", "98765432109872345.1234589")
?ymore16("+123456789012345.1234589", "", "-98765432109872345.1234589")
?ymore16("-123456789012345.1234589", "-", "-98765432109872345.1234589")
I will appreciate feedback with comments, opinions, bugs reports etc.
