Ceiling, or "Round Upwards", function in SPSS Data Transformations

Troubleshooting


Problem

Is there a "ceiling" function in SPSS, i.e. a function that will transform noninteger numeric values upward to the next integer, regardless of the size of the noninteger portion? For example, both 4.2 and 4.7 would be rounded upwards to 5.0 by this function. If such a function exists, how does it handle negative numbers?
