    Hi David,
    To elaborate on @ekallivrousis comment, we are trying to use 128-bit floating point data type (instead of 64-bit(8 byte double) ) to support 24 decimal places instead of 16 decimals supported by double. Currently, as per C API Reference KDB+ supports 4byte(float) and 8byte(double).  Is there were way to store 128-bit floating point values ?
