-----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Desmond Lloyd Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 1:49 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: VFP6: Why would anyone.... An Odd Question... Have this rather old "legacy" application. In extending order totals (qty*cost) it calls a function. STORE VAL(SUBSTR(STR(0.01 * (mqty * mprice * (100 - mdisc)), 12, 2), 1, 12)) TO ; mextprice Was able to "duplicate" by using the actual numbers.... This obviously returns the calculated amount with two decimal places, 12 bytes wide.... Why would you do that?
