The Decimal library should be used when calculating very large and very accurate numbers.

It uses 128 bits to store the numbers.

The Decimal library includes two types of objects:

DecOperators - Includes the methods that can be used with the decimal numbers.

DecNumber - Represents a number of the decimal type.

Example:

'Add a DecOperator named dec.

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub App_Start

      dec.New1

      AddObject("d1","decNumber")

      AddObject("d2","decNumber")

      d1.New1

      d2.New1

      d1.Value = dec.ParseD("10000")

      d2.Value = dec.FromDouble(7)

      msgbox(dec.CompareD(d1.Value,d2.Value))

      d1.Value = dec.DivD(d1.Value,d2.Value)

      d1.Value = dec.AddD(d1.Value, d2.Value)

      d = d1.ToString

      msgbox(d1.ToDouble)

      msgbox(d1.ToString2("n20"))

End Sub
