RE: Rounding Question

Mike:

Hey, I want to round to the whole dollar. But I am not doing any calculation
on the field, so the EVAL(H) won't work for me. Or will it?
This is the line I need to modify: "output = %trim(output) + ',' + %char(
NIBT.balance)". Any good ideas short of writing a subprocedure? The
NIBT.balance is the dollar amount. This dumps to a CSV file.

How about replacing
        %char(NIBT.balance)
with
        %char(%dech(NIBT.balance : precision : 0)
where "precision" is the number of positions to the left of the decimal
point?

Since you're also trimming leading zeros via %char, you can make precision
as large as you like to accommodate future requirements for a larger balance
amount.
