After a change of eMail provider, I'm just updating myself on what
happened.
This thread brought me to a "problem" I think to be rather strange.
I'm using BB 1.3 with dtF as a database.
I'm storing a currency value in a DECIMAL(15,2) column. Then I have to
print out a list. TO do this, I convert the Currency-value to a REAL via
REAL=CURRENCY.val/Math.Power(10,CURRENCY.scale),
and then I use TextMappers.Formatter.WriteReal for output.
This SOMETIMES leads to something like
Currency = 69.0
REAL = 68.9999999999
Is this the same topic?
Would it be better to transform the currency.val to a ARRAY 15 OF CHAR
and then enter the decimal point according to .scale?
