Hi, I don't know if this is the right mailing list for this question. Let me know if I should go somewhere else.
The issue is a number rounding problem. Here is my perl snippet: $credit = "64.63"; $amount = $credit * 1000; printf "credit %s, amount %12.12d\n", $credit, $amount; $amount = $amount / 10; printf "credit %s, amount %12.12d\n", $credit, $amount; What starts out as 64.63 ends up being 00000006462 That's bad. Any ideas on how to fix, work around etc? I've reproduced this on my main server (HP-UX, Perl 5.08.05) and on another machine (Red Hat Enterprise Linux also Perl 5.08.05) Thanks! -- Chris Howard CIS Database Administrator Platte River Power Authority [EMAIL PROTECTED] (970) 229-5248 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
