<h2>Passing Parameters Using Math Bindable APIs</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The math bindable APIs are procedures, and therefore parameters are passed
|
||
|
|
by reference. The math library handles all exceptions by returning a feedback
|
||
|
|
code, if one was specified on the call. If the pointer to the feedback area is
|
||
|
|
null (0), the feedback area is created and signaled to the ILE condition
|
||
|
|
manager and a program message is generated by the condition manager.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The APIs that perform computations will do so in the rounding mode of "round
|
||
|
|
to nearest" to achieve better accuracy. The APIs save the current rounding mode
|
||
|
|
(before the computations start), and restore the previous one before the APIs
|
||
|
|
exit. This is a general rule for the math bindable APIs.</p>
