Does the following produce the same results?

... | transaction A B | max C
... | transaction A B eval ceil(C)

I believe it should but please confirm...

Thanks.

eval max() and eval ceil() do not give the same results. Max will give you the max number including decimals. ceil() rounds off whatever value it gets to the highest whole number.
