Syntax:

Str(Numeric number, Alpha picture)

Parameters:

number: The number to be converted into an Alpha string.

picture: The format of the resulting string. For a full description, see Picture Formats.

Returns:

Alpha string containing converted number.

Example:

Str(45.12,'##.#') returns '45.1'.

Note:

Since a picture is used, the function may cause rounding. Str(39.999,'##.##') returns '40.00'.

If the result picture is unknown, use " as the picture. For example, Str(45.67,"). Magic xpi's internal algorithm will decide which picture to use, based on the number to be converted.
