1. BUG:

     There is a test program:

     *PROC testfloatingpointconst

     SET DECIMALS TO 2
     ?INT(4294967295/16777216) && Displays 256 if SET("DECIMALS")<=3
     SET DECIMALS TO 10
     ?INT(4294967295/16777216) && Displays 255 if SET("DECIMALS")>=4

     RETURN

     * END OF PROC TESTFLOATINGPOINTCONST.

     We think they will display 255, but:
     ?INT(4294967295/16777216) && Displays 256 if SET("DECIMALS")<=3


2. CAUSE:

     There are some BUGs in the following code.


3. RESOLUTION:

     We can write some code to fix the BUG.
