Thanks Fumio for the additional information.

I am afraid that I do not think so.
myFloat = 7.5
put ilk(myFloat)
-- #float
if not (myFloat mod 2) then put "even"
-- "even"
The mod function seems to round a float number before evaluation.

Thank you, Buzz! You're right.
We did try the mod function, but it failed on floats in D6.
Appearently this is fixed in D8. The project will be moved to director 8, soon.
D6.5:
-
set f = 1144608783851.0
put f/2
-- 572304391925.5000 -- (big odd number)
put f mod 2
-- 0
D8:
---
f = 114460
Did you try the mod function? It can accept floats as well as integers.
(it throws away the non-integer part & then evaluates)
i.e.
myFloat = 7.3
put ilk(myFloat)
-- #float
if (myFloat mod 2) then put "not even"
-- "not even" -- ( 7 is an odd number )

I appreciate all the good suggestions! Especially liked Roy's method
of paring down the float with the maxinteger.

We've actually decided to change the datastructure to use multiple
integers, instead of a great big float. We can g

What a coincedence. A coworker of mine just asked me a similar
question. In this case we have a huge float (greater than maxinteger)
and need to know if it is evenly divisable by 2. We can not truncate
the result, since it won't fit into an integer. We'll probably fall
back on converting to a
