You can't get rid of the eval, but you can do something like Eval(h) Quantity *= perUnit;

Subject: Rounding with assignment operators
I love assignment operators (+=, *=, etc.) especially as variable names get longer. But the one thing I'm having problems with is rounding. I haven't found a way around the issue. The following two statements are
equivalent:
Quantity = Quantity * perUnit;
Quantity *= perUnit;
Yay! But how do I do this:
eval(h) Quantity = Quantity * perUnit;
I don't see any way to change that particular line to use the assignment operator. Has anybody run into this, and is there a workaround?
