Thanks to advice received in this forum I have been able to greatly simplify the code for this rounding function. function RoundOut(atom variable,integer DecPlaces,atom DirFlag) --Variable=variable to be rounded --intDecPlaces=round to no of dec places to the right of the decimal --point if positive; to the left if negative. Integer required --DirFlag 0=round towards zero -- +ve=round to next highest number -- -ve=round to next lowest number var=-floor(-var) end if if DirFlag=0 then --round towards zero if var<0 then --round up if -ve var=-floor(-var) else var=floor(var) --round down if +ve end if end if return var/power(10,DecPlaces) --correct decimal places end function Regards, Chris
