Sergey gave you an answer that should work; now let me explain what is going on.
str() uses three parameters. The second is the size, and the third is the number of decimals. If you omit the third parameter, the default is zero decimals.
padr() or padl() can adjust the number of decimals automatically, depending on contents. So can transform() (with only one parameter), but irregular behaviour has been observed in some cases. This varies depending on the VFP version.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
