I have a situation where I need my results rounded up if they are not exact.
As in:
2 * 1.01 = 3
2 * 1.50 = 3
2 * 1.51 = 4
The source and target numbers are 7,0 and the factor is a constant.
I thought:
target = %dech(source * 1.01) : 7 : 0)
or maybe
target = %dech(source * 1.01) : 9 : 2)
would do it, but no joy.
I suppose I could do the calcs twice with %dec, once to a 7,0 result and once to a 9,2 result
(assuming %dec truncates) and then add one to the 7,0 result if the two are not equal, but
I would rather not.
Is there some way to force these calcs to round up if not exact?
Thanks,
Lance
