I have a SELECT statement which uses a function that returns a numeric value as one of the fields, like so...

SELECT table.fieldone, table.fieldthree, table.fieldthree,;
GetAmount(table.duedate) AS howmuch ;
FROM table ;
INTO CURSOR cTemp

The format of the function is like this:

FUNCTION GetAmount
LPARAMETERS
LOCAL lnReturnValue
STORE 0 TO lnReturnValue

RETURN lnReturnValue

The problem is this, I have used the debugger to confirm that the function returns values with decimals, like 524.56, BUT the amount that ends up in the "howmuch" field from the AS part of the SELECT statement is 525, not 524.56. So, how do I maintain the decimals when I get the value from a function called within a SELECT statement?

Thanks.
