AW: Calculation gives wrong result

I'll end this discussion, it's waste of time and fill only my inbox!
Because this situation can occur at any decimal place and you can't expect
from the system to round automatically in this case.
(It always cuts off the digits outside the given decimal places, regardless
of the value)

So in the given example:

result = %dech(x * (y / z) :7 :0); // 3 but should be 4 ->>> now it's
4!
result = %dech(x * y /z :7 :0); // 4

Just my 2cts.

Hi Jon

Just curious for the intermediate calculation what precision is used ?
(Not that it would make much difference unless zero decimal places)

Cheers
