Re: Max integer in an 8 byte COMP field?

RES1=0000000000000000000
RES1=0000000000000000000

What is correct I will leave the Gurus to work out :-)

Doesn't take a 'guru' at all.

compute rc2 = 2 ** 63.
...
compute rc2 = 2 ** 64 - 1.

Both these computations create intermediate overflow. See the ON SIZE
ERROR option for COMPUTE in your manual for handling of same.
