I'm you have DECIMALS set to 2 but I can't recall what you wrote in the original post. :-)
My rough guess would be that the last digit is showing up because the TRANSFORM picture clause includes 3 places and it gets applied after DECIMALS does its magic. If you change your TRANSFORM to 4 nines of precision (i.e. transform(0.042,"9.9999")), do you get "0.0400"? -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Gene Wirchenko Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 1:07 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: Truncated Decimal Digits At 05:01 2015-02-26, Ted Roche <tedro...@gmail.com> wrote: >If only there was some reference other than the help you could go to >for these kinds of things...

I checked it before posting. None of it seems relevant, and it might even be incorrect. I have 0.042 and want "0.042" but get "0.040" with transform(0.042,"9.999"). "SET DECIMALS determines the minimum number of decimals used and displayed."? So why is it seemingly the *maximum* in my case? I am getting only two decimal digits instead of the three that the number has.
