%EPRDn (assembler and disassembly only)

(%EPRD0 , %EPRD1, %EPRD4, %EPRD5, %EPRD8, %EPRD9, %EPRD12, and %EPRD13.)

Represent the extended-precision floating-point registers in decimal format.

To modify one of these registers, assign a value to the associated %EPRDn variable.

If both Decimal Floating Point and 64-bit hardware are not present, these variables are not supported. Any reference to them in such an environment will result in an “undefined symbol” message.

You cannot use the %EPRDn variable while you are replaying recorded statements.
