      I’m sure I’m missing something easy but I need to get a table value of 12345 to OBX.5 as 123.45.  I’m having issues with it and can’t find my documentation of tcl fragments that would help me out.

      I’ve tried a math DIV function but that only gives me 123 for some reason.

      Any suggestions?

          No Tcl needed.

          In Xlate:

          1. MATH DIV

            Thanks Jim.  That’s exactly what I was looking for.

              Hi Corey,

              If you don’t care about trailing zeroes you can use

              MATH DIV

              InitialValue

              =100.

              Note the decimal point is significant in the 100.  It instructs Tcl to use floating point instead of integer arithmetic.
