Decimal places when using pubmathdivideInts

  • 1.  Decimal places when using pubmathdivideInts

    Posted Thu April 17, 2003 01:46 PM

    This may be a ridiculous question but I am new to webMethods and trying to divide two number using the pub.math:divideInts service
    num1 = 925.00
    num2 - 384.00

    The value being returned is 2. This is going to be a dollar amount so I would like to take it out to two decimal places. I would expect the result to be 2.41.

    Does anybody have any ideas how I can format the output so that the output value is the 2.41?

    Thanks in advance!

    Write a Java service to use the BigDecimal class for this operation. Do not use pub.math:divideFloats–you’ll run into accuracy errors. See the Ezine article at [url=“wmusers.com”]wmusers.com
