Enumeration Type Documentation

RDM_BCD_ROUNDING_MODE

enum RDM_BCD_ROUNDING_MODE

Rounding modes for RaimaDB BCD.

Enumerator
RDM_BCD_ROUND_NEAREST_TIES_TO_EVEN	This is the default (because it is the recommended default for decimal numbers in IEEE 754). When rounding is necessary, the digits that are to be discarded are investigated and rounding takes place towards the nearer value. If these digits put the value exactly in the middle (i.e., the first digit to be truncated is 5 and all other truncated digits are 0) then the digit before the truncated digits is investigated and if it is even the data is rounded towards it - otherwise it is rounded away from it. The idea is to minimize rounding bias by rounding one way half of the time and rounding the other way the other half.
RDM_BCD_ROUND_NEAREST_TIES_AWAY_FROM_ZERO	This is what most of us are familiar with for rounding.Similar to the previous one, but 'ties' (when the truncated digits are 50000...) are rounded away from zero.
RDM_BCD_ROUND_UP	All values are rounded up; meaning positive values are rounded away from zero and negative values are rounded towards zero.
RDM_BCD_ROUND_DOWN	All values are rounded down; meaning positive values are rounded towards zero and negative values are rounded away from zero.
RDM_BCD_ROUND_TOWARDS_ZERO	All values are rounded towards zero.
