Setting Up Rounding Rules

Access the Rounding Rules Revisions form.

Rounding Rule Name

Enter the name of the set of instructions that characterizes a specific rounding rule requirement.

Rounding Rule Description

Enter the description of the rounding rule.

Seq Number (sequence number)

Enter the sequence of processing that the rounding engine uses when performing the rounding calculations.

Operator 1

Enter the position in the Input Test Value number to evaluate. The position is relative to the decimal point. -2 indicates the second position to the right of the decimal point, while 2 indicates the second position to the left of the decimal point. For example, if the Input Test Value number is 123.45 and if you set this value to -1, the system evaluates the first position to the right of the decimal point, which is the number 4 in this case.

Relational Operator

Enter a UDC (H95/RO) for a relational symbol. The relational symbol evaluates the values in operator 1 and operator 2. Values are >,<,=,>=,<=, and <>.

Operator 2

Enter the value against which to evaluate. The replacement rule that you are building is applied if the number in the position that you indicate meets the criteria that is specified by the relational operator and this value.

Boolean Operator

Enter the value that establishes the logic link between lines. Values are the language equivalent of and, or, and blank.

Replacement Value Operator

Enter additional text that further describes or clarifies a field in the system.

Replacement Value

Enter the value to substitute based on the replaceable position.

Replacement Position

Enter the position that receives the replacement value.

Skip To

Enter END to quit calculation or leave blank for no change required.

Input Test Value

Enter the value that establishes the logic link between lines. Values are the language equivalent of and, or, and blank.

Use this field to test the new rule. After you complete this field, select Test from the Form menu. The system then displays the results of the test in the Output Test Value field.
