Hi Gang!

I have some data to convert over, and the data has a field in it, for Retail Price.

It is a character field, and has amounts like this.... '2/9.99'

So this is 2 for 9.99.

I assume they want it to show 4.99, but here is my code I have at the moment (I threw together)....
LOCAL lnSlash, lcDivider, lnDivider, lcAmount, lnAmount

_SCREEN.Show
SET STEP ON 

lnSlash = 0
lcDivider = ''
lnDivider = 0
lcAmount = ''
lnAmount = 0

CLOSE DATABASES 
USE "c:\windmill 12-7-10-1" EXCLUSIVE
GO top
DO WHILE NOT EOF()
	IF '/' $ retail
		lnSlash = ATC('/',retail)
		IF lnSlash > 0
			lcDivider 	= LEFT(retail,lnSlash -1)
			lnDivider 	= VAL(lcDivider)
			lcAmount 	= SUBSTR(retail,lnSlash + 1)	
			lnAmount 	= VAL(lcAmount)
			IF lnDivider <> 0
				lnAmount 	= lnAmount / lnDivider
			ENDIF 
			lcAmount = ALLTRIM(STR(lnAmount,15,2))
			REPLACE retail WITH lcAmount
		ENDIF 
	ENDIF 
	SKIP
ENDDO 
and the lcAmount comes out as 5.00, not 4.99.

So.... any suggestion to make the amounts round down to the lower penny amount?

Thanks!
