Ancient COBOL had binary coded decimal.
- marcosdumay 5y agoEvery database and most programing languages have decimal floating point types. They usually don't use BCD, and instead use some more efficient representation. But anyway, the representation is irrelevant. By the way, integral BCD (what COBOL did most of the time) is useless.
