Hi Martin,
The below should do what you want. You will need to tidy up the output
though.
It is a modified extract, from a group of scripts I use at work for various
calculations with Dollar & cents, thus the requirement for decimals.
To increase the accuracy, just increase the multiplier & divider values. e
g. multiplier from 1000 to 100000 and the divider from 100 to 1000.
* keep in mind though, the upper limit of the 4 byte integer of Jaws, around
1000,000,000 I think.
String Function SimpleDecimalDivide (int InitialValue, int Divisor)
var
INT IntermediateValue,
STRING ResultString,
STRING DecimalString
; presumes 2 decimal place accuracy required
LET IntermediateValue = (InitialValue * 10000) / Divisor
LET ResultString = IntToString (IntermediateValue / 100) ; gives the whole
number portion of the result
LET DecimalString = IntToString (IntermediateValue % 100) ; gives the
decimal portion of the result
LET ResultString = ResultString + "." + DecimalString
Return (ResultString)
EndFunction
Script TestOnF8 ()
SayString (SimpleDecimalDivide (5, 13))
EndScript

As they say, when it rains?
I want to performa simple calculation to get a percentage.
For example, (5/13)*100 is supposed to give me 38.46%. But because Jaws
takes off any decimal, I get 0 every time.
Am I stepping out of the Jaws scripting limits here?
I'm using the script language to create a report and maybe it's just too
ambitious.
Cheers,
martin
