MI string to value using val

[ph]

I have a problem converting a string to a value
The problem is that "val" returns a value like 55.8412
The last to digits  are lost??

Include "MENU.DEF"
          Include "MAPBASIC.DEF"
          Include "ICONS.DEF"

          dim pos as string
          pos=55.841234
          dim valpos as float
          valpos= val(pos)
          note valpos

          dim result as float
          result = 55.841234 - valpos
          note result
