Must be of class numeric.

The EXP function produces return values that are identical to the Language Environment® callable service CEESDEXP when ARITH(COMPAT) is in effect and CEESQEXP when ARITH(EXTEND) is in effect. The COBOL expression, (FUNCTION E ** (argument-1)), is an approximation of this value.
