I create the following fixed transform() function.
Will this work OK always ?

FUNCTION MYTRANSFORM( aval, cmask )
LOCAL nDeci, cRes
nDeci = SET('deci')
SET deci to 10
cRes = TRANSFORM(m.aVal, m.cMask )
SET DECIMALS TO (m.nDeci)
RETURN m.cRes

>However, if you need reliable results with transform() and decimals, better make your own version, as a UDF.
