Hi,

Hi Walter,

I had to treat Floating point as I was dealing not with money but wtih measerement readings on some gas power consumption,

system keeps theese data on an FLTP type's form, unfortunatelly when you pass from char input fields to FLTP or even you get to do comparisons between them, often accuracy in rounding values get varying and is not predictable,

Anyway I've found some standard method due to carry a reliable rounding within an accuracy to 15 decimals, which I could use

to convert any FLTP value before comparisons or calculation,

Thenkyou Walter,

regards,

Sergio,
