Stores the 8-byte floating-point value of a DECIMAL expression at the specified memory location.

SYNTAX

PUT-DOUBLE ( destination , position ) = expression 

destination

A variable of type RAW or MEMPTR. If destination is the unknown value, it remains the unknown value. If destination is a MEMPTR and has not had its region allocated (by a SET-SIZE statement or by a Windows dynamic link library (DLL) or UNIX shared library routine), Progress generates a run-time error.

position

An INTEGER value greater than 0 that indicates the byte position where Progress stores expression. If position is less than 1, Progress generates a run-time error.

For a RAW destination, if position is greater than the length of destination, Progress increases the length of destination to position plus the remaining bytes needed to store expression. The gap between the original destination length and position is padded with null bytes.

For a MEMPTR destination, if position is greater than the length of destination or does not leave sufficient room to store expression, Progress generates a run-time error.

expression

The DECIMAL value of a constant, field, variable, function, or expression.

EXAMPLE

For examples of how to use the PUT-DOUBLE statement, see the PUT-BYTE Statement reference entry.
