the problem is with a whole number, something that weighs 2 pounds.
Currently, they manually round up to next pound regardless. but 2 always
remains at 2.
Are you describing the correct behaviour for the algorithm, or the
incorrect behaviour that you want to correct? That is, if you have
weight = 2.0, should the result be 2.0 or 3.0?
In the first case, the CEILING function mentioned by Birgitta is as good
a choice as any. The ceil() function is also callable as part of the
C/C++ runtime. Booth's suggestion is a way to implement the CEILING
function if choose not to use embedded SQL or an API call, but be aware
that it will need to be modified depending on the number of decimal
places in your weight field:
%int(2.01 + 0.9) = %int(2.91) = 2.0
In case you want 2.0 to become 3.0, you could use
newWeight = FLOOR(originalWeight + 1).
Hope this helps,
Adam
