Hi,

I cannot really test since your dataframe is completely distorted, but what happens if you try: format(QuoteBID, nsmall=5)? I think it's just a matter of printing, which uses the number of digits from options(digits=).

See: ?options, ?format, etc.

But I'm not an expert and cannot really test for this.

Hi:
I want to obtain a particular value from a data.frame. Following is my
dataframe:

Quotes
                                BID                     ASK
Name
CT2 GOVT                99.92969        99.9375         CT2
TUM0 COMDTY     108.53125       108.5469        TUM0
CT5 GOVT                100.10156       100.1094        GT5
FVM0 COMDTY     115.56250       115.5703        FVM0
TYM0 COMDTY     116.93750       116.9531        TYM0

If I try to run: QuoteTUM0BID = Quotes[Quotes$Name %in% "TUM0", "BID"]
and print QuoteTUM0BID, I get 108.5312, instead of 108.53125 as an
answer. Please let me know why is it ignoring the last digit.


Additional Information.
If I run QuoteBID = Quotes[, "BID"], I get the whole array in which TUM0
BID is 108.53125 (a correct number).


Thanks in advance...
Rgds,
Brijesh
