Message-ID: <329@marob.MASA.COM> Date: 6 Jul 88 20:12:58 GMT Reply-To: daveh@marob.UUCP (Dave Hammond) Organization: 18th Street Construction Co NY NY Lines: 15 Using INFORMIX and its ACE ReportWriter package I am trying to print reports which contain floating point values with from 1 to 4 decimal places (e.g. 1.2, 1.23, 1.234 or 1.2345). It seems no matter what print picture I use, numbers which do not resolve to 4 decimal places are rounded down instead of filled with zeros (e.g. 1.5 prints as 1.4999 instead of 1.5000). Any suggestions on a means of accurately printing a less-than-4 decimal place value in a 4-decimal-place picture would be much appreciated. Please answer by e-mail or followup.
