HI,

try like below.

Towords(truncate(6400.75), 0) + " Rupees and " + towords(abs(100 * (truncate(6400.75)- 6400.75)), 0) + "Paise";

result is: six thousand four hundred Rupees and seventy five paise

The first part i.e.

Towords(truncate(6400.75), 0)

returns 6400, and will ignore the decimal place.

Second part i.e.

(abs(100 * (6400.75 - truncate(6400.75))

converts it to a positive value and multiplies the value to be non decimal.

If you have more decimal places you'll have to adjust the 100 multiplier.

hope it helps.
