select exp(column)

What? I was going to right an exponientiation SPL and just for grins did a select col * exp(other_col) from table. It worked! But its not an exponentiation function what is it? select exp(2) from systables where tabid = 1 yields 7.39 select 2 * exp(2) from systables where tabid = 1 yields 15 ?????? cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, DMD/IS Boise, Idaho, USA jparker@hpbs3645.boi.hp.com _____________________________________________________________________________ If anything can go wrong, fix it.
