How do you use format
How do you use format to format numbers into strings?

Code:

EXPORT HOWFMT()
BEGIN
 MSGBOX(format(9.3456,"s3"));
END;

Gives a bad argument error.

The format command is a CAS command which Home doesn't know how to handle. So use CAS(format(9.3456,"s3")) when using it in a non-CAS program.

Try:

EXPORT HOWFMT()
BEGIN
MSGBOX(format(9.3456,QUOTE("s3")));
END;

RE: How do you use format (SOLVED)
Thanks, both of those worked. I had tried CAS.format() instead of CAS(format()).

When should I use CAS.command and when should I use CAS(command) ?
