COBTOT & COBTOTR

These programs will multiply together parameters one and two supplied to the program and pass the result back in parameter one. The default is to pass the result back as a two decimal numeric field of length eleven (8 numerics the decimal point and two decimals). The number of characters returned before the decimal point is always eight but you may alter the number of decimals by passing the value of 1 – 5 in parameter six. If you alter the number of decimals returned then the return value length will change accordingly. The difference between COBTOT and COBTOTR is that COBTOTR will use rounding whilst COBTOT will just truncate to the correct number of decimals.

Parameter	In	Len	Out	Len
PARM1	Value 1	21	Result. Return length depends upon value specified in PARM6 e.g. xxxxxxxx.xxxxx xxxxxxxx.xxxx xxxxxxxx.xxx xxxxxxxx.xx xxxxxxxx.x xxxxxxxx	14
PARM2	Value 2	21	-
PARM3	-		-
PARM4	-		-
PARM5	-		-
PARM6	Position 1 = Number of decimals (0 - 5) or Blank for default of 2 Position 2 = Decimal point if not "." e.g. ”,” (From version 7.0.0)		-

From version 7.0.0

Note: The second character of PARM6 can contain the decimal point character, if it is not a ". " e.g. a comma ",". The default will always be a ".". This character will be used for both the input and output values.
