Re: Fractional exponents in 4GL

RJMartn writes: -> ->I have an application which requires the raising of numbers to fractional ->powers ->(eg 3 **2.7). 4GL seems to always use the intergized exponent so that 3 ->** 2.7 = 3 ** 2. ->Does anyone have a solution for this other than writing a c function? I am ->using RDS ->version 4.11UC4. The first time we had to do that, we asked Informix to add it to their feature request list and we wrote a C function. Haven't heard back from Informix on this feature, but at least it's not a difficule work around! If you talk to their tech support folks you could always make sure it's still on the requested features list.
