Hi Dave,

I think I understand where your heading with this.

Where I can see a problem with what I am doing is I dont have a constant number of digits in the remainder. It could be 1,2,3 or 4 characters long, So DIG2 would pick the right number if the remainder was in the hundreds, but the wrong number if the result was in the thousands.

If I remember back to Q Basic days there was a Left$ or Right$ and number of characters command, but I cant see anything like that in PBP.

Am I seeing this right or not?

Nope...

Try something like this.
IF NUM_REM >= 9999 and <= 1000 THEN
DIG3 NUM_REM

IF NUM_REM >= 999 and <= 100 THEN
DIG2 NUM_REM

Ah Yes,

A good solution, thanks. Using that method I could also now look at the second digit and if >= 5 round up to the next value.
