[M3devel] Percent to REAL?

[Randy Coleburn]

Martin:
 
The following works for me:
 
VAR
   i: INTEGER;
   r: REAL;
BEGIN
   i := 70;
   r := FLOAT(i) / 100.0;
END;
 
Regards,
Randy

I'm feeling silly, but I need to convert a percentage (stored as an
INTEGER) into a REAL, so I tried FLOAT(num) / 100.0 but that doesn't
work.  I tried using FLOAT(num DIV 100) but that doesn't work either.  I
also tried FLOAT(num MOD 100) just to try everything, and that didn't
work either.

How can I convert a percentage into a REAL? For example, 70% -> 0.70
