Description
The SET PCPICTURE command allows for dBASE compatibility with the handling of the decimal portion of numeric data in picture statements. When PCPICTURE is set ON, if a picture statement has fewer decimal places than the actual variable or field, the extra decimal places are truncated. If PCPICTURE is OFF, then the numeric data is properly rounded. This command has been added to aid in the porting of applications that use this feature. By default, PCPICTURE is OFF.
Example
num = 34.675 set pcpicture on @ 0,0 say num picture "99.9" 34.6 set pcpicture off @ 0,0 say num picture "99.9" 34.7
Products
