Hi Dave

You could drop the OnePercent altogether and use the total number of
records (NbrOfRcds in the original code) instead, and check that the
remainder is below 100, rather than = 0 (i.e. less than 1, and the
values are now 100 times bigger)

   p_percent = %div((RcdsRead * 100) : NbrOfRcds);
   remainder = %rem((RcdsRead * 100) : NbrOfRcds);

I tried just dropping the 11,2 to a 9,0 but the code hits 100%
slightly before the end of the file, rather than at the last record.
Slightly pedantic given that it's just supposed to be a visual
indication of what's going on, but I might as well try to make it
correct ;)
