I want to get the percentage rounded in cobol to the nearest two decimal places. The following is the syntax of the percentage calculation I have used.
COMPUTE A ROUNDED = (B/C)*100
Where A,B and C are defined as
05 A VALUE 0 COMP-3 PIC S9(4)V9(3).
05 B VALUE 0 COMP-3 PIC S9(9).
05 C VALUE 0 COMP-3 PIC S9(11).
for eg if the value of B = 10,616 and C=11,418 the result should be 92.98 but I am getting 92.97.
But the result is not rounded. Could any one please guide me what could be the mistake I am committing. |

Dear SB,
Try this one....
compute A rounded to ceiling = (B/C)*100
Hope this will work.... If it is not pls let me know.
Regards

If you want more info...
Methods of Rounding
There are five methods of rounding. The name in square brackets is how they are referred
a) Round toward minus infinity [Ceiling]
b) Round toward plus infinity [Floor]
c) Round toward zero [Truncate]
d) IEEE round to nearest [Nearest-unbiased].
"In the case of a value exactly half-way between two
neighboring value, select the 'even' one.
e) Traditional round to nearest [Nearest]
