Look into Chapter 41. Math APIs of the System API Reference. All kinds of
things there. All are found in a service program, so have to be done in ILE
programs.

A la Jon Paris' "Free functions" levture, there are also all the C library
math functions. Again, these must be prototyped in ILE RPG. There've been
recent examples on this list. If you can't find it here, let me know—I'll
pass on some of Jon's material—better yet, ask him! <g>

You can get the C library documentation in ILE C Programmer's Reference,
Chapter 10. Library Functions.

Good luck
