Status: Unverified
SYMPTOM(s):
Using DECIMALS option on parameters to modify the number of decimal places stored
The original, unmodified value is displayed when viewing the parameter
For example:
RUN proc.p (INPUT 123.456).
/* proc.p */
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER iDe AS DECIMAL DECIMALS 2.
DISPLAY iDe FORMAT ">>>>>>9.999".
Expected Result: 123.4600
Actual Result: 123.4560
CAUSE:
This is a known issue being investigated by Development
FIX:
Option #1
Re-assign the value of the parameter to a variable that has the same DECIMALS setting:
DEF INPUT PARAMETER pD AS DECIMAL DECIMALS 2.
DEF VAR vDe AS DECIMAL DECIMALS 2.
vDe = pD.
DISPLAY vDe FORMAT ">>>>>>9.9999".
Result: 123.4600
Option #2
Use the ROUND function rather than relying on DECIMALS
