#1988 FORMAT returns invalid number

[Paul van den Eertwegh]

Running below code snippet under Windows 11, latest version:

parse version version
say version
numeric digits 20
a = 1/(6 * 1e15)
say 'value' a
numeric digits 40
b = format(a)
say 'format' b
say 'plus 1' b+1

produces

Many other combinations of numeric digits and exponent are running OK.

Same here:

BTW, my laptop is UTF-8 enabled.

Best,

FWIW, my output on WIN10 64-bit with a recent oRexx 32-bit seems ok:

REXX-ooRexx_5.1.0(MT)_32-bit 6.05 19 Sep 2024
value 0.00000000000000016666666666666666667
format 0.00000000000000016666666666666666667
plus 1 1.00000000000000016666666666666666667

Hi Erich,

When I run this on ooRexx built fresh today on macOS Sonoma I get this

version REXX-ooRexx_5.1.0(MT)_64-bit 6.05 19 Nov 2024
value 0.00000000000000016666666666666666667
format 0.00000000000000016666666666666666667000000000000?(?
20 - say 'plus 1' b+1
Error 41 running /Users/po/Downloads/test.REX line 20: Bad arithmetic conversion.
Error 41.1: Nonnumeric value ("0.00000000000000016666666666666666667000000000000?(?") used in arithmetic operation.

The code I ran was this

parse version version
say 'version' version
numeric digits 20
a = 1/(6 * 1e15)
say 'value' a
numeric digits 40
b = format(a)
say 'format' b
say 'plus 1' b+1

Is this how it should be or was the fix only made on Windows?

Erich, I take that back, I was building with a rotten SVN. Sorry. This is how it looks now:

version REXX-ooRexx_5.1.0(MT)_64-bit 6.05 19 Nov 2024
value 0.00000000000000016666666666666666667
format 0.00000000000000016666666666666666667
plus 1 1.00000000000000016666666666666666667

So all is well also on MacOS
