RE: Cube root

[Eric DeLong <Eric.DeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     While I haven't tested this specifically, you should be able to use 
     the C/C++ runtime function POW(X,Y) which computes x^y. To get the 
     cube root, use x^(1/y).  The values X and Y are defined double, so 
     in RPGIV, define them as 8F Value and you shoud be fine. If you 
     need a prototype or an example, let me know and I'll build one.

Hi all,
     
I would like to know a way to calculate the cube root of a number. We are on

V4R4.
     
Thanx.
