Hi,

I have FOCUS report and the result of values are showing after process the data. Below is statement of report logic.

File details:
-------------
FILE=FL1,SUFFIX=FIX ,$
SEGNAME=FL1EXTR ,$
FIELD=FL_FLD1 , ,P12.1 ,P6 ,$
FIELD=FL_FLD2 , ,A2 ,A2 ,$


Logic details:
-------------
DEFINE FILE FL1
VAR_01/P8.1S = IF FL_FLD2 NE '10'
THEN (FL_FLD1/1000)
ELSE FL_FLD1;
END

'FL_FLD1' values are given below respectively.
1455.5
4650.7
6355.7
5850.0
22053.0
8252.0
1057.8
1059.5
8752.4

After executing the logic, i have got the results in VAR_01 given below

1.5
4.7
6.4
5.8
22.1
8.3
1.1
1.1
8.8


My doubt is, for 5850.0 value it should come like 5.9 after rounding like other values. But how it showed like 5.8 in results?

Try changing your packed-decimal (P12.1) to double precision (D12.1) and see what difference that makes.

Then hit the manual to see how these are treated in each case.

Edited so that you see the difference!!!

Did you try Tony A's suggestion:
Try changing your packed-decimal (P12.1) to double precision (D12.1) and see what difference that makes.

Try this: 

  
DEFINE FILE FL1
VARD/D25.18 = FL_FLD1/1000 ;
VAR_01/P8.1S = IF FL_FLD2 NE '10'
THEN (FL_FLD1/1000)
ELSE FL_FLD1;
END
TABLE FILE FL1
PRINT FL_FLD1 FL_FLD2 VARD VAR_01
END


You may see the actual double value of VARD makes the rounding understandable.

The rounding rules I was taught agree with 5.8. You round to the even on a tie.
