Define "a little more rigorous"? Other than some rounding/truncation issues, what exactly are you going for?

Background: I've developed a subroutine that will read an "externally-maintained" dir-type file (insurance prem. table) for every employee when payroll is run. This table contains monthly insurance premiums for different types of covereage, i.e., 27748 64074 76278 29236 68088 80620 33368 75076 89396 538 1016 1494 1788 2277 2342 The OCONV() for these is "MD2". The subroutine will find the appropriate premium in this table based on other criteria. Pertinent part: -Based on the employees' salary, the employer will pay either 80, 70, or 60 percent of this premium; with the employee paying the difference. -The Paychecks are issued semi-monthly. Here's my logic so far: MO.PREM = PREM.TBL<X,Y> BEGIN CASE CASE X.SALARY LT 30000; * Employer pays 80% X.EMPLYR.AMT = MO.PREM * 8 / 10 X.EMPLYE.AMT = MO.PREM - X.EMPLYR.AMT CASE ((X.SALARY GE 30000) AND (X.SALARY LT 40000)); * Employer pays 70% X.EMPLYR.AMT = MO.PREM * 7 / 10 X.EMPLYE.AMT = MO.PREM - X.EMPLYR.AMT CASE X.SALARY GE 40000; * Employer pays 60% X.EMPLYR.AMT = MO.PREM * 6 / 10 X.EMPLYE.AMT = MO.PREM - X.EMPLYR.AMT CASE 1 END CASE * Divide these amounts by two since since employees are payed twice per month. X.EMPLYR.AMT = X.EMPLYR.AMT / 2 X.EMPLYE.AMT = X.EMPLYE.AMT / 2 This is all working out satisfactorily, but I want to ensure that the accounting folks are happy at the end of the year, so I need something a little more rigorous. The internal format of X.EMPLYR.AMT & X.EMPLYE.AMT that is returned to the calling process must be such that if viewed 'externally', the conversion would MD2 For example, if the monthly premium is 425 Monthly premium: $425 Employer (mo)..: 340 - 80% Employee (mo)..: 85 - 20% Per check - Employer: $170 Employee: 42.50 X.EMPLYR.AMT = 17000 X.EMPLYE.AMT = 4250 Suggestions welcome! ************************************************ * Shawn Waldie San Juan College * * Programmer/Analyst 4601 College Blvd * * Phone: (505)566-3072 Farmington, NM 87402 * * email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ************************************************ ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
