Assigning particular value to a variable

**financecatalyst** · - 30th July 2011, 23:13

Could someone please help with a few lines of code explaining how to do the following:

If I have :

Code:

ValueBig  var WORD
ValueSm Var Byte

ValueBig=5438

I would like to get 54 in ValueSm.

Thanks in advance.

How about

ValuSM = ValueBig/100

Charles, thanks for the reply. What will happen to ".38". Will that be ignored by the PBP?

Correct. It is integer math.
