Is there an easy way to specify the number of digits in a number variable? The Round function does not work, as it applies only to division, and the Truncate function, though in the documentation, is not recognized within the JAL editor. I am able to achive my goal of two digits (e.g., 45.30, or 33.00) by stripping the variable at the decimal using InStr, Left, and Right, but this adds quite a few extra variables that are unnecessary if the Round or Truncate functions would work like they are documented in Chapter 19, Numeric Functions. Any help would be appreciated.

Truncate is not supported in JAL. It is only available in database filter expressions as a build-in method.

What you need to do is to convert number to a string then cut away extra digits and then convert it back to a number.

For example,

Dim str, string
Dim num, number, 125.3456

Format num, "000000.00", str
Set str, num
