Data conversion and formatting methods
Some data-type conversions are handled in the normal process flow by AL without any particular attention on the part of the developer, such as code to text and character to text. Some data-type conversions can only be handled through AL methods. Formatting is included because it can also include a data type conversion. Rounding does not do a data type conversion, but it does result in a change in format (the number of decimal places). Let’s review the following methods:

Here, Number is rounded, Precision spells out the number of digits of decimal precision, and Direction indicates whether to round up, down, or to the nearest number. Some examples of Precision values...
