RE: Round to the tenth

It's not dumb Booth.

But, you'd need to handle the intermediate results.

With temp defined 0 decimal places...

temp = (nbr + 9) / 10
newnbr = temp * 10

That's basically what my suggestion does.

I add +4 the %dech adds +5


***NOTE my original had an error should have been:
eval nbr = ( %dech( ( origNbr + 4 / 10 ) : 5 : 0 )) * 10


The %dech needed 0 for precession not 1

HTH,
Charles
