? TRANSFORM(10.2) && Displays 10.2

The VFP 6/7 help also states that "Trailing zeros are removed from the decimal portion of a numeric value".

It doesn't matter.
Haven't you learned, yet, that calling anything a bug brings out certain people to say otherwise regardless of the facts. They can just make up a new fact to suit the current situation.

My guess is that it is because of this phenomenon that the VFP BUG List is very very very RARELY updated. This way the makers of the new rules get to set the new rules and then there is no need for a bug to be declared.
