Thanks, though I'm not sure that is true, and I can't take credit.
Somewhere out on the web Toby Thurston had a page dedicated to Rexx
one-liners, which I found most inspiring for this sort of thing. I just
copied his style. Sadly, his page seems to have been taken down now.

You guys are so much better programmers than I am. Your code is so much
simpler than what I would have come up with. Thanks.

Take a look at the SVN Incubator. In there you will find a package
(ZabrodskyAAT) that performs all these functions and more.

Looks good to me - I defer to Chip.
Maybe we should have a PL/1 compatibility class in the release, that calls
the rxmath library and has compatible input and output for the 'missing'
functions.
The sort of job that someone with a little ooRexx and some PL/1 experience

I came up with this but didn't get it posted quickly enough to beat Jon:
::routine ceil
return arg(1) % 1 + 1 - (arg(1) < 0)
::routine floor
return arg(1) % 1 - (arg(1) < 0)
which requires fewer function invocations (none if the value is in a
variable) yet still demonstrates

If you have ooRexx 4, then you have the math functions. See the document
named rxmath for instructions on its use. There should be a librxmath
library or dll somewhere.

CEIL determines the smallest integer value greater than or equal to x, and
assigns this value to the result.
FLOOR returns the largest integer value less than or equal to x.
BOOL returns a bit string that is the result of the Boolean operation z, on x
and y. The length of the result is equal to

I've never used floor or ceil, so not sure how they behave with negative
numbers, but would this do?
::routine floor public
return arg(1)%1
::routine ceil public
return arg(1
I've never used floor or ceil, so not sure how they behave with negative

The trig functions have always been there in the ooRexx maths package
I don't know what the BOOL function does.
