CEIL determines the smallest integer value greater than or equal
to
x, and assigns this value to the result.
>>-CEIL(x)-----------------------------------------------------><
- x
- Real expression.
The result has the mode, base, scale, and precision of
x,
except when
x is fixed-point with precision (
p,q).
The precision of the result is then given by:
(min(N,max(p-q+1,1)),0)
where N is the maximum number of digits allowed.
