RE: Displaying decimal part as a fraction...
David,
Just wanted to mention that if you use the code i gave you, you SHOULD
account for .05 and .25 either specifically or by doing a step -1, not -2.
Also, all other odd numbers result in no output, so you need to handle that
as well.
CFSET startvar = 4.73
CFSET step2 = DollarFormat(startvar)
CFSET step3 = Right(#step2#,2)
cfloop index="divisor" from="50" to="2" step="-2"
CFIF step3 MOD divisor IS 0 AND 100 MOD divisor IS 0
CFSET fraction = step3/divisor "/" 100/divisor
CFBREAK
/cfif
/cfloop
cfoutput
CFIF isDefined("fraction") AND fraction IS NOT ""
#fraction#
CFELSE
#step3#/100
/cfif
/cfoutput

Simon,
I passed it on to the developer in question, as I will do the amendment, and
I'll let you know how it comes out. Again, thanks for the quick response and
help.

by the way (I just test ran this code, and it did work:) ), you should
actually change the step to "-2".

RE: Displaying decimal part as a fraction...
I passed it on the the programmer who is to use it, Katrina. I haven't heard back from him so apparently it did work. I apologize for not looking it over better from the beginning, Max.

RE: Displaying decimal part as a fraction...
Not really, Max. However, thanks for trying. We can get the decimal part, no problem. We can also perform various rounding schemes, of course. What we actually need is for the decimal part to be "displayed" as a fraction for the user, as in: 10 over 100, or 10/100, in other words. I once saw a function, or custom tag, or something someone had done that accomplished this fraction display. I was hoping someone might remember that and know where it could be found, who had authored it, etc. David -- -Original Message- From: Max Paperno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 2:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Displaying decimal part as a fraction...
