Hi list,

Please keep in mind, that each line of sequence code loads the CP and that this 
routine can load the CP a lot if BPCSTM and exponent are large. In any case 
(also for small exponents) it would be more efficient to use a MATH block for 
the calculation and link that to the sequence, this is what I'd recommend.

Peter,
Here's a subroutine that handles positive, integer exponents.
This compiled and worked as an IND seq block, so you can test it out.

Regards,
David

Hi List
    Does anyone know how to do a power function x^y in HLBL?

    Similar to the pow(x,y) call under C

    or CALCA block EXP x y



Thank you,
