[RBASE-L] - Rounding with Currency

[mjs]

Dear Rbase buddies,   I have written a payroll program that finally works almost perfectly.  I say almost because…..   Say the employee makes $11 per hour, and they get time and a half for overtime, and they have 0.83 hours of overtime.  How much overtime pay should they get?  Using REAL numbers (instead of currency) as follows… (11 * .83  * 1.5) = 13.695, which should round up to $13.70.   Using Currency, and variables as follows….. SET V v1 CURRENCY = 11 SET V v2 REAL = .83 SET V v3 CURRENCY SET V v3 = (.v1 * .v2 * 1.5)   produces $13.69.    Shouldn’t that round up to $13.70?    I could rewrite the software using all real numbers, and convert at the end, but shouldn’t I get the same result?   Mike Sinclair
