What is the range of possible values that can be accommodated within the IDFS paradigm?

0

As new data sets have been converted into the IDFS format, the numeric constants that represent the range of data values that can be accommodated have changed. As such, it was decided to refer to mnemonics instead of actual values when talking about valid ranges of data values. These two mnemonics, VALID_MIN and VALID_MAX, represent the smallest and largest data value that is recognized by the IDFS data access routines, respectively. As of February 1, 2000, VALID_MIN is set to 3.0e38 and VALID_MAX is set to 3.0e38.
