While there is some suggested alternative I need to admit that I need
more precise advise which I also did not found in a web search (probably
its me to seek for the wrong keywords).  Can you give an example for a
correct replacement of 

   if (runningtotal < UNDERFLOW)

and 

   if (runningtotal > OVERFLOW)

?

Thanks a lot

    Andreas.
