| Code: |
01 WS-VAR-1 PIC 9(9).
01 WS-VAR-2 PIC 9(9)V99.
COMPUTE WS-VAR-1 ROUNDED = (365 / 12) * 11 => 334
COMPUTE WS-VAR-2 = (365 / 12) * 11
COMPUTE WS-VAR-1 ROUNDED = WS-VAR-2 => 335
|
Do i need to store result in some variable ??
Why COMPUTE WS-VAR-1 ROUNDED = (365 / 12) * 11 not giving 335 directly ? |

answer:
in compute with rouded always gives result approximate
but in 2nd case you have not done computation
i.e 34.58 = 35
so its better you
mention
ws-var-1 pic 9(9)v9
so you will get 34.6
correct me i am wronge

Intermediate results?
What would
COMPUTE WS-VAR-1 ROUNDED = (365.0 / 12.0) * 11.0
result in? |

Hello,
Please look up ROUNDED in your Fine Manual. Rounded results are not approximate - they are exact to whatever you specify.
In your example, none of the fields have any decimal places defined, so only whole numbers are considered. If the "answer" was 334.9976, you would get 334. Rounding occurs with digits to the right of the decimal. Significant digits are not "rounded up". Let's say you have 1045 and divide it by 55 - the answer is 19. Should that round up to 20? I don't believe so. . . . |

picture clause
PIC 9(3)V9. ---->1
PIC 9(3). ----->2
Value
123.25 (1)
123 (2)
Truncated
123.2 (1)
123 (2)
Rounded
123.3 (1)
123 (2)
The ROUNDED option takes effect when, after decimal point alignment, the result calculated must be truncated on the right hand side.
The option adds 1 to the receiving item when the leftmost truncated digit has an absolute value of 5 or greater.
Correct me if am wrong |

COMPUTE WS-VAR-1 ROUNDED = (365.0 / 12.0) * 11.0 is resulting in 334
if i replace the formula (365.0 / 12.0) * 11.0 by number 334.58 then the ans is 335
That is what confusion is ?
If it's rounding up 334.58 to 335,
then why it is not rounding when i use formula (365.0 / 12.0) * 11.0 and not number 334.58 |

Hello,
If you use (365.00 / 12) * 11 it will give the rounding you expect.
Previously, there was not enough precision. This from the Fine Manual:

Note: You must define the operands of any arithmetic statements with
enough decimal places to give the desired accuracy in the final result.
