CLEAR
mrate = 86.173125
mhours = 24.0000
mpay = mhours * mrate
? mpay
test=STR(mpay,LEN(STR(mpay)),LEN(STR(mpay)))
? ROUND(mpay, 2)
? ROUND(VAL(test),2)

Hmm, maybe that's because if you round to fewer decimal places than you have in the calculation, you lose data?

? ROUND(mPay, 10)
? ROUND(ROUND(mPay, 10), 2)
