%DEC

Hi,

In this expression :

MyProc ( MyField * MyCoefficient );

MyField is 10S 0, MyCoefficient is 2S 1 and the prototype for MyProc is 31S 9.

MyProc will output all decimal places eg 543.748000000. I need to round down to two decimal places, eg 543.740000000.

I tried this, which works :

MyProc ( %DEC ( MyField * MyCoefficient : 10 : 2 ));

My problem is, I don't fully understand what is meant by the precision parameter. I just tried 10 when 5 made the program crash.
