I am having trouble with decimals. This is running on website using the internet gateway. My program is going to have to calculate tax for the first time. I use my program to sell a product and the price of that product is calcuated which has never been a problem because it was all whole numbers. But with sales tax now i have to deal with decimals. Now with tax if the price comes to $1250.50 it shows 1250.5, i can correct this with OConv using MD2 but then on whole prices like $1175 it shows 11.75. And i have not run into it yet but i am sure that in some cases i will get a number like 1250.725. I need this to display properly in dollars and cents for all of the possible outcomes. Can anyone help me with this?

David,
Try this…
NUMBER=1250.5
NUMBER=OCONV(ICONV(NUMBER,'MD2'),'MD2,')
NUMBER=1175
NUMBER=OCONV(ICONV(NUMBER,'MD2'),'MD2,')
