error message RNX9001
I have a RPGILE which input X and Y and return Z as (X to the power of Y)
eg X = 2 and Y = 2 then Z = 4
I define X, Y and Z as 30P9
However when I can this function with parmeter X= 10 and Y = 10

Answer Wiki:
30p9 ** 30p9 has a result in 60p18, that does not exists.
try rounding the result
eval(h) z = x ** y; or
eval z = %decimal(x ** y : 30 : 9);
or try to adjust variables (less decimals)
or eval the result in a double float, such as explained in the "Precision of Intermediate Results" chapter of ILE rpg reference SC09-2508-04 page 429 (pdf page number 447)
