ILBOIFB

ILBOIFB is a COBOL routine that converts a double-precision floating-point number to either a binary number or a binary number with exponent to base 10. If the internal floating-point number is too large or too small, the binary number is set to the maximum or minimum.

Hints

High processing in this routine might indicate excessive data conversions. Look on the attribution reports for the location in the COBOL program that requires the conversion. If possible, change the definition of the variable to avoid the conversion.
