Par2: Swedish rounding 2005-03-24 -- Greg Bailey > A fun fact about New Zealand: The monetary system revolves around Swedish

> Here's how it goes: middle numbers (3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) all round to 5, and
> end numbers (8, 9, 0, 1, and 2) round to 0. So something that's 3.97 rounds

NbrString string( 20 )
NbrString = format( Amount, n020.2 ) !force to fill string
case NbrString[ 20 ]
of 8 to 9
orof 1 to 2
NbrString[ 20 ] = 0
of 3 to 7
NbrString[ 20 ] = 5
end!case
Amount = NbrString
