use the ROUND primitive. You can set the number of decimal places.

Is it somethings added on 3.0.9? I can't see any ROUND primitive in my toolbox :shock:
I always do this passing the value via Ruby :?

Yes. But I meant: what if you have a Float prim with value 2.234523 and you want to "round" to 2 digit (i.e. 2.23)?
Such as round in Ruby.

Not sure how fast is passing between float-string-float. Anyway, that's won't "round" really to the last digit, just "cut" the string.
