I am trying to divide amper variables using dialogue manager commands, but the result that I get is a rounded value. How can i get a decimal number back

-SET &num1 = 234 ;
-SET &num2 = &num1/5 ;
-TYPE &num2

This gives me 46 instead of 46.8.

Hi,

You can use the the setting DMPRECISION.
Below is a link from other posting that mentions it.

Neenz,

You will need to use the DMPRECISION setting:

The SET DMPRECISION command gives users the option of either accepting the default truncation of the decimal portion of output from arithmetic calculations, or specifying up to nine decimal places for rounding.

SET DMPRECISION = {OFF|n}

Thanks Mary and Jimmy !
That works
