If it's really easy, that would be a good solution as Laurence thinks
that these may occur disproportionately in certain situations, and this
will make it easy to check. Please make sure the documentation and
scoring instructions are clear on this being the ONLY non-integer value.
Thanks,
jeanne

Hi All,
I just wanted to make sure Jeanne and Susan know that we have to option
to use 0.5 as a size. Karl says he can easily adjust the data type so
0.5 can be used only in this instance (see below: in other words, one
could not enter a size of 5.5 without getting an error).
Would you like to stick with changing 0.5 to 1 or allow the 0.5 values
when they show up? It makes no difference to me. I just didn't realize
it was an easy option.
