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.
