RE: Decimals in division

[Brian Johnson <Brian.Johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Other results:

Divide by 100.0 yields a result with one decimal position
Divide by 100.00 yields a result with tw0 decimal positions

These variations are interesting only, I think, in that they reveal something more about how RPG handles complex numeric expressions.  Martin, yours seem to be the best solutions suggested so far.

Hi

Have a look at the expression options on the Control spec, or try changing the calc spec to add the op code extender 'Result decimal positions':
EVAL(r) neto$ = imp$ / ( 1 + porciva /100);

Cheers,
Martin
