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.
