Hi Cetin,

The problem is
it returns 1 if the value is 130.9
it returns 1 if the value is 130.0 is right
but the problem is it returns 1 even if the value us just 130 and not decimal places

Thanks
Amit




I expected it to return number of digits in integer part (3 for 130.9898).
I think you mean you threat 130.0000 with no decimal places. Then make it :
iif(int(lnVar)=lnVar,0,;
len(substr(allt(padr(lnVar,20)), at(".", allt(padr(lnVar,20)) )+1 ) ))
If you use VFP6 then Doug's method is shorter.
