Real to Int

[edda 1]

Hi all... Is it possible to convert Real to 16bitars Integer in some way? can i for example do it like this... L DB10.DBD0 RND T DB10.DBW4 or will it have problem with the 16 bitars int? Edited 11 Dec 2007 by edda

Generally speaking - no, you can't.

Well, people usually don't remember/know that the code below works well only when real_number is in range <0.0 .. 32767.0>. (OK, with RND it works well in fact for numbers in range <-0.5 .. 32767.5) but it does not change much) L real_number RND T int_number
