Examples
These examples show how to use Str3() to change a number to a string:
X#
1LOCAL fNumber AS FLOAT
2fNumber := 123.45
3? Str3(fNumber, 10, 1)            //      123.5
4? Str3(fNumber * 10, 7, 2)        // 1234.50
5? Str3(fNumber * 10, 12, 4)        //    1234.5000
This functions returns a string of all asterisks when the Decimals parameter is > 0 and the Decimals parameter is > Length-2. Also a string of all asterisks is returned when the number does NOT fit into the allocated space. Example:
X#
1? Str(9,6,6)    => "******"
2? Str(9,6,5)    => "******"
3? Str(9,6,4)    => "9.0000"
4? Str(9,6,3)    => " 9.000"
5? Str(10,6,6)    => "******"
6? Str(10,6,5)    => "******"
7? Str(10,6,4)    => "******"
8? Str(10,6,3)    => "10.000"
