BcdMul

Method
Multiplies two BCD numbers.

Category
BCD

 

Syntax
Function BcdMul(ByVal hDstBcd As Long, ByVal hSrcBcd As Long) As Long

hDstBcd
The handle to the destination BCD number.

hSrcBcd
The handle to source BCD number.

 

Example

hBCD = CF1.AllocBcd

  hBCD2 = CF1.AllocBcd

  tmpLong = 6

  tmpLong2 = 3

  CF1.LongToBcd tmpLong, hBCD

  CF1.LongToBcd tmpLong2, hBCD2

  tmpVar = CF1.BcdMul(hBCD, hBCD2)

  tmpVar2 = CF1.BcdToLong(hBCD)

  If VarType(tmpVar) = vbLong And CLng(tmpVar2) = tmpLong * tmpLong2 Then

  logWr "BcdMul OK"

  Else

  logWr "BcdMul failed"

  End If

  CF1.FreeBcd hBCD

  CF1.FreeBcd hBCD2

 

Comments
BcdMul multiplies the BCD number hDstBcd by the BCD number hSrcBcd and places the result in the BCD number hDstBcd.

For convenience, the function also returns a handle to the BCD number hDstBcd. This is useful in situations where the result is used to call yet another function, as in the following example:

h = BcdMul(BcdMul(dst, src),src1)

h and dst are now the same handle, and that handle refers to a BCD number with the value: (dst * src) * src1.
