OTS$DIV_PK_LONG

The Packed Decimal Division with Long Divisor routine divides fixed-point decimal data, which is stored in packed decimal form, when precision and scale requirements for the quotient call for multiple precision division. The divisor must have a precision of 30 or 31 digits.

RETURNS

OpenVMS usage: cond_value

type: longword (unsigned)

access: write only

mechanism: by value

Arguments

packed-decimal-dividend

OpenVMS usage: varying_arg

type: packed decimal string

access: read only

mechanism: by reference

Dividend. The packed-decimal-dividend argument is the address of a packed decimal string that contains the shifted dividend.
Before being passed as input, the packed-decimal-dividend argument is always multiplied by 10^c, where c is defined as follows:
c = 31 - prec(packed-decimal-dividend)
Multiplying packed-decimal-dividend by 10^c makes packed-decimal-dividend a 31-digit number.
packed-decimal-divisor

OpenVMS usage: varying_arg

type: packed decimal string

access: read only

mechanism: by reference

Divisor. The packed-decimal-divisor argument is the address of a packed decimal string that contains the divisor.
divisor-precision

OpenVMS usage: word_signed

type: word (signed)

access: read only

mechanism: by value

Precision of the divisor. The divisor-precision argument is a signed word that contains the precision of the divisor. The high-order bits are filled with zeros.
packed-decimal-quotient

OpenVMS usage: varying_arg

type: packed decimal string

access: write only

mechanism: by reference

Quotient. The packed-decimal-quotient argument is the address of the packed decimal string into which OTS$DIV_PK_LONG writes the quotient.
quotient-precision

OpenVMS usage: word_signed

type: word (signed)

access: read only

mechanism: by value

Precision of the quotient. The quotient-precision argument is a signed word that contains the precision of the quotient. The high-order bits are filled with zeros.
precision-data

OpenVMS usage: word_signed

type: word (signed)

access: read only

mechanism: by value

Additional digits of precision required. The precision-data argument is a signed word that contains the value of the additional digits of precision required.
OTS$DIV_PK_LONG computes the precision-data argument as follows:
precision-data = scale(packed-decimal-quotient) + scale(packed-decimal-divisor) - scale(packed-decimal-dividend) - 31 + prec(packed-decimal-dividend)
scale-data

OpenVMS usage: word_signed

type: word (signed)

access: read only

mechanism: by value

Scale factor of the decimal point. The scale-data argument is a signed word that contains the scale data.
OTS$DIV_PK_LONG defines the scale-data argument as follows:
scale-data = 31 - prec(packed-decimal-divisor)

Description

On VAX systems, before using this routine, you should determine whether it is best to use OTS$DIV_PK_LONG, OTS$DIV_PK_SHORT, or the VAX instruction DIVP. To determine this, you must first calculate b, where b is defined as follows:
b = scale(packed-decimal-quotient) + scale(packed-decimal-divisor) - scale(packed-decimal-dividend) + prec(packed-decimal-dividend)
If b is greater than 31, then OTS$DIV_PK_LONG can be used to perform the division. If b is less than 31, you could use the instruction DIVP instead.
When using this routine on an OpenVMS Alpha system or on an OpenVMS VAX system and you have determined that you cannot use DIVP, you need to determine whether you should use OTS$DIV_PK_LONG or OTS$DIV_PK_SHORT. To determine this, you must examine the value of scale-data. If scale-data is less than or equal to 1, then you should use OTS$DIV_PK_LONG. If scale-data is greater than 1, you should use OTS$DIV_PK_SHORT instead.

On VAX systems, before using this routine, you should determine whether it is best to use OTS$DIV_PK_LONG, OTS$DIV_PK_SHORT, or the VAX instruction DIVP. To determine this, you must first calculate b, where b is defined as follows:
