As far as I know ROUNDED is NEAREST-AWAY-FROM-ZERO, and I get a calculator
result of
2177.705416666666667 so isn't .71 the proper round up?
002177.70 is the result for no ROUNDED clause, the default "rounding" being
trunctation. No?
I'm looking at Annex C of the July 2009 Draft. I'm not 100% on these specs,
but I'd wager that OpenCOBOL is right on this one, and it's the other
compiler that needs a beat down. :)
Cheers,
Brian
