Hi Neil,

I don't know of any behavior change, but if there is, it's probably documented. Why not use transform(0.20,'99999999.9')? Here is a generic function I wrote some years ago:

FUNCTION NTOC && Numeric to character, trims the result, optional number of decimals)
   PARAMETERS lnInData,lnDecimal
   IF PCOUNT()=1
      lnDecimal=0
   ENDIF
RETURN LTRIM(STR(lnInData,10,lnDecimal))

ntoc(0.20,1)=0.2
ntoc(0.20)=0
