And as someone else mentioned you do need to set decimals to some number greater than the precision you want to preserve if you don't want the transform to do an implicit round. The PADx functions also do an implicit transform if you want a fixed string length but then you will get full precision.

Subject: RE: VFP Rounding

Use TRANSFORM with a picture clause if you're not interested in the extra precision. Otherwise use ROUND.

m.v1=100.1234

m.v2=100.1234

m.v3=100.1234

m.v4=100.1234

m.nresult=m.v1+m.v2+m.v3+m.v4

m.cresult=transform(m.nresult, '@R 999,999,999.99')

WAIT WINDOW m.nresult

WAIT WINDOW m.cresult
