This is a bug.

Without parameters TRANSFORM it correctly works.
A side effect is that with a format parameter, you can have ***.**** output !

set decimals to 1
SET FIXED OFF

CLEAR
myvar = 9999.999
? transform(myvar)   && Prints 99.999
? transform(myvar, "@R 9999.9999")   && Prints ****,****
* cause: with a parameter TRANSFORM uses SET DECIMALS
? "this is that that ago VFP before applying the formatting ",TRANSFORM(myvar,"")

* a workaround for this is not simple without a UDF
? TRANSFORM(myvar,"@R 999,999.9999") && wish 9,999.9990
