available for the number of shares field. It is about the fact that
extra decimal places are dealt with by truncation, not
rounding.</p>
<p>My problem is with an investment account where the standard 3
decimal places are used. However, for some transactions the number
of shares comes in as 100*(true number of shares). I fix it by
dividing the number of shares by 100 before recording the
transaction. The problem is that Moneydance doesn't round the
resulting number to 3 decimal places, it truncates it. You can
verify this by entering the number of shares as 1.0009 (in an
account where 3 decimal places are used). As soon as you tab to
another field the number changes to 1 (it should change to 1.001).
Entering 1.001 works fine.</p>
<p>This has been mentioned a couple of times by others but the
tickets in the tracking system that include the issue were all also
about the limit on the number of decimal places and got folded into
ticket <a href="/discussions/problems/305" title=
"Discussion #305">#305</a> which doesn't list the truncation
problem in the proposed fix.</p>
<p>Please update ticket <a href="/discussions/problems/305" title=
"Discussion #305">#305</a> to include a fix to the truncation
problem, or maybe it should be a new ticket. No number should ever
be truncated. Rounding is the appropriate action.</p>
<p>Thanks much for a great product!</p></div>Marytag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/3028272009-08-15T20:20:41Z2009-08-15T20:20:41ZNumber of shares not rounded but truncated.<div><p>Dear Mary,</p>

I could<br>
