I understand. Thank you both for the input.

So, suppose I want to save a FLOAT-LONG to a file. Since COBOL does not support moving 64-bit floats to strings directly, I'd need to move them to an edited picture first. However, GNUCobol 3.2.0 does not allow me to use the 'E' character. Consider the sample program below: identification division. program-id. sample. data division. working-storage section. 01 n float-long. 01 numeric-edited-1 pic -9(15).9(15) . *> 01 numeric-edited-2 pic -9(1).9(15)E-99. procedure division. 100-main. move 3.4587124e-60...
