There is a difference in the way that Cognos and WebFOCUS rounds decimal values such as D20.2.

With that in mind, does anyone have a standard way for WebFOCUS to round the same way as Cognos?

Thanks In Advance,
Doug

Hi Doug,

You've already ask that question and unfortunately, I don't think that the answer to it will be different.

I guess that I shouldn't have closed it as I didn't get much other than using a DEFINE. But, one may want something simpler then adding a DEFINE for every number field in all the reports / sources during a major / critical Cognos to WebFOCUS conversions (Yea!) of 167 reports. Music
