Please help me on a Roundation problem ???

[sarah77]

In my program I need to calculate the vacation balance.
Within a process there is a field resulted of:

Vac_Balance = (22/12/30)*27

The result should be 1.649 , but it gives me 1.650 ???

When I divided (22/12/30) separtely it gives me (0.06111111111) and then by multiply :
(0.06111111111)*27 it gives me the required answer=1.649

Any solution for that will be much appriciated.

Note: I'm using vfp5

Try this:

set deci to 4
? round((22/12/30),4)*27

I get 1.6497
