I am thinking along these lines: Is the multiplied answer greater that the %int? If so, add 1 to the %int. I haven't tested this, so be forewarned: look for the *doh* :)

Field 1 * Field 2 = Result1
if Result1 > %int(Result1)
eval Result1 = %int(Result1) + 1
* else
* eval Result 1 = %int(Result1)
endif

(The commented lines are just for a complete demonstration, but are redundant I believe.)

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
