would do it, but no joy.

half adjusting (whether you use %dech or one of the myriad other ways to half-adjust in RPG) only rounds up when the number hits the halfway point to the next higher number. Thus 1.5 would round up to 2, but 1.49 would round down to 1. That's why it's called "half adjust".

You could, of course do this:

target = %dech((source*1.01) + 0.5: 7: 0);

Seems to me that would do what you want... if not, you can always do something like this:

if %int(target) <> target;
target = %int(target) + 1;
endif;
