I thought I could use something like the following:

Eval myint = %int(float)

But it ends up with a zero value..even though the float shows
something
like
2.234586785678E-28

Probably the best you can do is multiply by 10 to the 28 power
to get 2.234586785678 and then multiply by some power of ten again
to get the number of significant digits you want.

The issue with that would be I am never going to know for sure what the
power is....


It's been a while since I worked with floats, but IIRC, you should be able
to extract the power from the hex representation of the float. There
might even be an RPG builtin or a C API for this if you look around a bit.
