  • Subject: Is there ROUND OFF Function in RPG/400?
  • From: bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Date: Thu, 27 Aug 98 12:47:47 CDT

As others have pointed out, the Half adjust feature of RPG will provide
rounding of numeric values for the general case.  As your note
specifically calls out rounding of currency values, I thought I would
point out that RPG Half adjust may not work in all environments.

For instance, Switzerland has legislation governing the rounding of
monetary values.  As shown below, the amounts round by .05 rather than
the more traditional .01:

              Source              Gov    RPG
              ------             -----  -----
              12.325  rounds to  12.30  12.33
              12.326  rounds to  12.35  12.33
              12.376  rounds to  12.40  12.38
