Can anybody tell me why the following retains the decimal place in
the returned data:
t_number = packed_data / d_shift;
return %char(t_number);
...but this does not?
return %char(packed_data / d_shift);
OK, based on the response, it sounds like %CHAR is not "smart"
enough to determine that decimal places will result form the divide
operation. Yes, both data names in the following statement have zero
decimal places.
return %char(packed_data / d_shift);
So, I changed it to the following and now I an getting too many
zeroes on the right of the returned result.
return %char(%dec(packed_data / d_shift));
I know how many decimal places I want but the %DEC function will
not accept a variable name for that operand. How can I easily strip off
the excess right zeroes?
Sincerely,
Dave Clark
