It sounds like you don't want to *round* the number, but you want to
*print* it with a certain precision. Check the IDL help for "format
codes" and the FORMAT keyword to the STRING function and PRINT procedure.

IDL> print, 23.46, format='(f0.2)'
23.46

The "f" format code is for outputting floating point numbers. The "2"
means two digits after the decimal point. The "0" means "make the output
string just as long so that it fits".

Good luck,
Benjamin
