RE: int(-8.9)=-9 or -8

["Alistair Rooney" <alistairr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Because the number is negative, Excel tries to "round down" and ends up
with -9. This is incorrect, IMO, as the correct integer value should be -8.
RPGIV is correct. No big surprise though.

Hi, all

By Excel functions, int(-8.1)=-9. And %Int in RPGiv is -8.

How can I get -9 same as an Excel function by RPG iv?
Is which result(-9 or -8) normal for you ?
