@ -180,6 +180,8 @@ DECFLOAT (FB 4.0)
required precision but range of values is very limited). When using is a tool like
generic purporse GUI client choice of CHAR binding is OK in most cases.
4. Although length of DECFLOAT(34) literal can exceed 6000 bytes (0.000<6000 zeros>00123)
implementation limit exists - length of such literal should not exceed 1024 bytes.
4. The length of DECFLOAT literals are limited to 1024 characters. For longer values, you will
need to use the scientific notation. For example, the 0.0<1020 zeroes>11 cannot be used
as a literal, instead you can use the equivalent in scientific notation: 1.1E-1022.
Similarly 10<1022 zeroes>0 can be presented as 1.0E1024.
