IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Add round() function to ILE C/C++ (math.h)

We need to use the round() function in ILE C/C++. Currently it is not included in the header math.h.

The function is from the C99 standard.

z/OS has also support for it: https://www.ibm.com/docs/pl/zos/2.4.0?topic=functions-round-roundf-roundl-round-nearest-integer


Please add it also to the ILE C/C++ compiler.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.

    It is in the stander library.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.
