function/INT                                                     function/INT
 
 NAME
     INT -- Extracts the integer portion of a decimal number
 
 ABBREVIATION
     None

 SYNOPSIS
     INT(<number>)

 FUNCTION
     Returns the integer portion of <number>, with all decimal places to the 
     right of the decimal point removed. The result is always less-than or 
     equal to <number>. Thus, any negative numbers with decimal places become
     the integer less-than their current value (e.g. INT(-4.5)=-5).
 
 INPUTS
     <number> - number to be evaluated
 
 RESULT
     Integer part of a given number (numeric).

 EXAMPLES
     X=INT(X*100+.5)/100
         Rounds to the next highest penny.
 
 NOTES
     If the INT function is to be used for rounding off, the form is 
     INT(<number>+.5) or INT(<number>-.5).
