So really, if I want an uncomplicated string of characters derived
from a number via setting the numberFormat and then doing a
calculation, how do I get it?
You can turn it into a string by putting empty after it:
put 1.55555 into tVar -- number
set the numberformat to "0.00"
add 1 to tVar -- still a number
put tVar into fld 1 -- numberformat applied now, field contains a
string "2.55"
add 1 to tVar -- still a number, contains 3.55555
put empty after tVar -- numberformat applies, tVar is a string
