I am doing the following:
put 10.27 into tNumber
put the trunc of tNumber into tInteger
put tNumber - tInteger into tDecimal
put 100 * tDecimal into tNew Decimal
put the trunc of tNewDecimal
and I get 26 instead of 27.
put trunc(tNewDecimal & "")
forcing it into a string does the trick. Better yet,
function truncate pValue
return trunc(pValue & "")
end truncate
Note: this is BZ #2419, which for some reason Tuviah closed as
NOT_A_BUG in January 2004, so unless Jacque reopens it it's unlikely
that it will be fixed.
After it was explained to me, I agreed it isn't a bug. It is how math
works. See Dar's explanation, which is pretty good.
By the way, I just tried the original script (quoted at the top above,)
using Mac OS 10.4.6 and I did not get 26, I got 27 as expected. I
suspect it is system-related. I believe the Rev engine relies on the
OS's math routines to get its results.
