[Cfp-interest] D/d double type floating point suffix

[Rajan Bhakta]

Packed decimal values in user source are of the form "<whole 
part>.<fractional part>d" so yes, 1.00d is a valid packed decimal number 
in IBM's C compiler.

My understanding is that the 'd' suffix is used on packed decimal
constants.  In the hardware, they are integers.  But, in the
user's source code, can they look like floating-point numbers?
That is, would 1.00d be a valid packed decimal constant?
