I have code, which loops through fields in a database, and I'm using str(myField) to convert it for a report. Obviously, if it's a real number I want decimal places str(myField,2), but if it's a real than I don't need/want the decimal places. The issue is that type('myField') returns 'N' for either real or integer.

If MyField = cast(MyField as I)

then you know that even if this is a real number, it doesn't have digits after .
