Kind of makes the original ALLTRIM(STR()) solution seem elegant <g>. Rick White Light Computing, Inc.

The program inserts values into the numeric field, and the character fields DEFAULT value settings transform the numbers into their character equivalents. I had been using something like this: CREATE CURSOR curReport(nValue n(10,2), cValue c(10) DEFAULT ALLTRIM(STR(nValue,10,liDecimals))) ...where liDecimals is a value set at run time depending on the amount of decimal places I need for that record insert. In my testing I know that TRANSFORM would be great like this: TRANSFORM(nValue,'999,999.99') ...but sometimes I don't want the character representation to have the same number of decimal positions. My plan B is to create some rigged UDF whereby I pass the value and the number of decimals places I want and it parses/builds it for me, but that seems kludgey. Is there a way to get the transform to behave variably like I had in my initial DEFAULT value with ALLTRIM(STR(..)) without a UDF ??
