Library /sys$common/syshlp/basichelp.hlb PLACE$  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The PLACE$ function changes the precision  of  a  numeric  string.   BASIC
  rounds  or  truncates  the  numeric  string  according  to the value of an
  integer argument.

  Example

  Number$ = PLACE$(Old_number$, 10001%)
