Re: Getting rounded off values from database.

My question is this. Does the first row print all 16 digits to the right of the decimal point? Then the others print 0, 1, or 2 digits to the right of the decimal point?

e.g. is the output something like this?:

 1/1/2005    12/31/2999    11.3700000000000016
 1/1/2005    12/31/2999    7.54
 1/1/2005    12/31/2999    12.07
 1/1/2005    12/31/2999    3
 1/1/2005    12/31/2999    3.8
 1/1/2005    12/31/2999    12.99

..because if it is then I suspect that what you want to do is print 16 digits to the right of the decimal point regardless of whether they are significant or not. In which case do something like this for your printing line:

  printf( DISCOUNT 
          "%s\t%s\t%.16f\n"
          $mdstartdate,$mdenddate,$mddiscountrate
        );
