*STRICTMATH (GETMODE)

PLBCMP Only

*STRICTMATH={value}

The *STRICTMATH list control reports the runtime behavior during DIVIDE instructions.

{value} is a previously defined Numeric Variable that receives the state.

When this keyword returns a non-zero value, the runtime executes divide operations in a strict math mode. When the strict math mode is being used, a U60 error is generated when a divide by zero operation is executed in a PLB program. The strict math mode eliminates situations where unpredictable or unexpected results can occur because of bad data or PLB logic.
