ieee2float - Convert floating-point number from IEEE format to /390 format

Definition

#include <ieee_390.h> extern float ieee2float (float num); ieee2float converts a 4-byte floating-point number num in IEEE format to /390 format and returns it as the result. Neither overflow nor underflow can occur, but up to three bit positions can be lost.

Parameters  float num

	4-byte floating-point number in IEEE format
Return val.	4-byte floating-point number in /390 format. The global variable float_exceptions_flag contains information for the event of unsuccessful conversion and is defined as follows: extern int float_exception_flags; enum { float_flag_inexact = 1, float_flag_divbyzero = 2, float_flag_underflow = 4, float_flag_overflow = 8, float_flag_invalid = 16 }; If bit positions are lost during conversion and the result thus becomes inaccurate, f float_flag_invalid is set.
