twoDigitChar = %Char(%Int(ellevenFour));

Would be one approach. But should the decimals round or just be truncated? What do you want if the number is (say) 0.1234 - do you want the zero or blanks? If there is only one significant digit do you want leading zero or blanks? Or perhaps a single digit number should be left aligned in the char field.

Can't talk to "best practice" without an adequate spec Booth.
