Quick follow up: One of the guys discovered this:
Run the following pgm, then uncomment out the last 2 lines and run it again.
Watch what happens to the first value for Y....
X = 1234.78
Y = X "0"
CRT X
CRT Y
* Y = X"R#0"
* CRT Y

Subject: [U2] Numeric rounding - UV 9.4 & 10.1
I have a habbit of using the following syntax to round numbers to a certain
number of decimal places:
X = 1.623
CRT X '2'
CRT X '0'
Yields:
1.62
2
It's always worked fine. Until we did an upgrade to 10.1. Now it has been
deemed un-reliable because it produced an undesirable result (an empty
string) in a rather sensitive program.
So, first question is: Is this a bad habbit I've had all these years?
Second question: Has anyone else experienced a problem with this method of
rounding? Is it a known bug?
