JRules / IBM ODM BAL question

Question

 

Does anyone know how to implement the FLOOR() OR CEILING() mathematical function in BAL ?

 

I'm trying to implement

 

 

set 'Z' to 0.00;

 

set 'the desired value' to (FLOOR ('Z' - 25 / 5)+1 )*100 ;

 

or

 

 

set 'the desired value' to CEIL('Z' - 25 / 5)+1);

 

 

Thanks,

Answer 1

I solved this by writing the following methods in the source code of the XOM object:

private BigDecimal amount;

public BigDecimal getAmount() {
     return amount;
}

public BigDecimal getCeilBasedCalc(int z, int x, int y, BigDecimal n) {
     return ( new BigDecimal((z-x) / y ).multiply(n) ).setScale(0, RoundingMode.CEILING);
}

public void calculateBasedOnCeil(int z, int x, int y, BigDecimal n) {
     this.amount = ( new BigDecimal((z-x) / y ).multiply(n) ).setScale(0, RoundingMode.CEILING);
}

And then verbalized the above in the BOM.
