Could you expand on the scope of fractions you are looking for?
Is .33 >> 1/3 or 33/100?
Is .25 >> 1/4 or 25/100? |

That is decimal not fraction.
How are the fields defined?
If the field is defined as "FIELD1 5 N 2" and it contains 12345 it will be reported as 123.45 |

What calculation will you use to cause the result of .125?
Using only the price, i know of no way to convert it to some % or some decimal value.
If ytou post examples of a few values and the result you want from using those values, we should be able to offer better suggestions. |

He is trying to convert decimal to a fraction. .125 = 1/8
This would be simple if .125 = 125/1000 was acceptable but reducing a fraction would be more difficult. If 3 decimal places is most then it could be done with a table. |

Well,
So far i've seen multiple thoughts that make sense to me. They are not "the same" but any could be the answer jamz is looking for.
For my $.02, i'd still like to see some sample "input" and what the desired "output" would be. . . |
