STR$

[obelisk]

Hi

I searched but can't find a solution.

I am using STR$(B) where B is 50.000
Then I am adding STR$(B) to an Istring but it keeps adding 50
It drops the decimal and trailing zeros

I tried setprecision but it doesn't seem to change the results

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

I ran into the same problem when I started using IWB. Don't remember exactly what I did, but I the solution came after experimenting a litte with formating text output. ( PRINT USING )

Attach a screendump of the UserGuide.



Merry Christmas!

Thank you for the reply

I must be missing something.
No matter what I try, I still get only the whole number without the decimal point or trailing zeros.

Try:

DEF fd="%d-###,###.##":STRING
DEF ftotal:DOUBLE

ftotal = 20.00

PRINT "\t\tTotal $"+USING(fd,ftotal)

Prints:     Total $20.00
