Adding numbers (and limiting the result)

[Sarah Reichelt]

Try this:

on closefield
    put statRound(fld "Tot0" / fld "Grp0", 2) into fld "Cpp0"
end closefield

This will do your division, round the result to 2 decimals and then put that
answer into "Cpp0".

If you have a license &/or are not script-length restricted, you may find it
clearer (& easier to debug in the future) if you do this in 2 stages:

on closefield
    put fld "Tot0" / fld "Grp0" into theAnswer
    put statRound(theAnswer, 2) into fld "Cpp0"
end closefield


>> You could use numberFormat as suggested, or the round function.
>> 
>> put round(myNumber,2) into fld "Whatever"
>> 
>> This will give you 2 decimal places rounded by financial rules. If you want
>> statistical rounding rules, use the statRound function.
>> 
>> Cheers,
