Hi,
I would like to truncate the value after doing a calculation, but the value should not round up.
For example, after calculation the result comes to 100.4586508
I want the value to be 100.45 only. Normally the value would get rounded up to 100.46.
How do I do this?
Thanks
Ramesh |

Ramesh,
If you are talking about COBOL, Here is the solution
Declare variable like
01 WS-C PIC 9(03).99
Use ADD Verb without ROUND option
like ADD WS-A WS-B giving WS-C |

Vasanth,
Lets assume, i have value
in WS-A = 50.00
WS-B = 50.4586508 <assume PIC 9(2).9(7)>
On execution of above ADD VERB, The WS-C will have value 100.45 because WS-C is declared as 9(02).99
Suppose if You are using ADD VERB with ROUNDED option like
ADD WS-A WS-B GIVING WS-C ROUNDED
Then the result will rounded to you |

Hi Raghu,
In this case, the value would come as 100.46 only, but I want the value to be with 100.45.

Results of Arthimetic calculations in COBOL will get rounded provided if u code verb ROUNDED.
If you are not coding verb ROUNDED, it will not rounded up. |

| or, after the calculation, you can simply move it to a field defined with only 2 decimal positions. |

Ramesh,
Move the result you are getting after calculation to a variable of PIC clause 9(2)V99. |
