Immediate IF() syntax error

[toyet]

Any ideas why the red line below produces a syntax error at '('

nEmployeeMax := 33
nEmployeeCount := 0
nPageE := int(nEmployees/nEmployeeMax) + if(nEmployees % nEmployeeMax > 0, 1, 0 )
nPageC := 0


Fivewin 13.04 / Harbour 3.2.0 (rev 18881)

Thanks for any help.

If you are meaning "syntax error" while compiling, there is no such error. The statement is compiling fine for me.

If you are meaning runtime error ( i don't think that is what you meant) then please check nEmployees in already initialized with a numeric value.

Finally, the statement

Code: Select all

nPageE := int(nEmployees/nEmployeeMax) + if(nEmployees % nEmployeeMax > 0, 1, 0 )

can be simplified as

Code: Select all

nPageE := Ceiling(nEmployees/nEmployeeMax)

GN Rao,

I tried the Ceiling() function and it seems to go fine. Thank you for it.

Maybe the '%' operator for modulus division is the culprit for the error?

% operator works well with both Harbour and xHarbour with all recent versions I remember.
