This code is from Martin Rowe's Progress Meter. How can I change the

I have read the postings on %DIV and %REM, and can't get away from the
integer requirement. Not sure what to do with OnePercent…

Hi Dave

You could drop the OnePercent altogether and use the total number of
records (NbrOfRcds in the original code) instead, and check that the
remainder is below 100, rather than = 0 (i.e. less than 1, and the
values are now 100 times bigger)

p_percent = %div((RcdsRead * 100) : NbrOfRcds);
remainder = %rem((RcdsRead * 100) : NbrOfRcds);

I tried just dropping the 11,2 to a 9,0 but the code hits 100%
slightly before the end of the file, rather than at the last record.
Slightly pedantic given that it's just supposed to be a visual
indication of what's going on, but I might as well try to make it
correct ;)
