SYMPTOMS
Money allows you to enter stock splits. Occasionally, a
negative stock split may occur because fewer shares exist after the split than
existed before the split.
In this case, if you enter a decimal
fraction (such as .05) for the number of shares received for each share in a
stock split, you receive one of the following error messages. In Money 99 or
earlier, you may receive the following error message:
Please enter a number between 1 and 65,535.
In Money 2000 or later,
you may receive the following error message:
Please
enter a whole number between 1 and 65,535.
RESOLUTION
Multiply both the shares received and the shares
surrendered by an integer that converts the fractional number into a whole
number.
For example, if a negative stock split grants 0.024 shares
for each share, multiply both numbers by 1,000 to give the result that shares
will be split 24 shares for every 1,000 shares.
