Hi All.

I'm working on a 4GL payroll custom calc that needs to take a value and floor it (i.e. round down to the nearest whole number). How do I do this in 4GL/cobol?

If it matters, we're on DB2/Unix.

Thanks!

Move varA defined as S9(12)V99 to varB defined as S9(12). The move varB back to varA. It will drop the cents. Is that what you mean? =

DOH! Geez...I should have thought of that. A little tunnel-vision I guess.

Thanks John.
