EXPONENT
EXPONENT returns a FIXED BINARY(31,0) value that is the exponent part of x.
- x
- Expression. x must be declared as REAL FLOAT.
EXPONENT(x) is not the
mathematicalexponent of x. If x = 0, EXPONENT(x) = 0. For other values of x, EXPONENT(x) is the unique number e such that: Consequently, EXPONENT(1e0) equals 1 and not 0.
