When assigning floating-point values to non-float values, it's almost
always best to use half-adjust.  This will handle cases where the actual
answer is say 2, but the floating point value is 1.9999999999999999999.
Not using half-adjust would give 1 or 1.9999 or whatever.

Code it using something like one of these:

  c                   Eval(h)      NonFloatVal = atof(CharValue)
  c                   Eval         NonFloatVal = %inth(atof(CharValue))
  c                   Eval         NonFloatVal = %dech(atof(CharValue) : 7
: 3)
