How do I round a formcalc calculation result to round $.725 to show $.73

Question

I am not an expert with Livecyle ES and I am not a programmer. I found a time calculation and modified and created this form.
The purpose of the form is for student time to be daily and totaled per week. The hours and minutes are converted to decimal
and then multiplied by the rate of pay to get Week 1 Total and the same process is used for the Week 2 Total. The Week 1 rounded
calcualtion added to the Week 2 rounded calculation give the student's total gross pay.
Example:
Student works 21.3 hours Week 1 @ 8.25/hr (calculator total) equals $175.725 (I want figure to round to $175.73)
Student works 10.7 hours Week 2 @ 8.25/hr (calculator total) equals $88.275 (I want figure to round to $88.28)
Student's total gross pay equals $264.01
Payroll certificaiton shows 32 hours worked @ $8.25/hour with a gross pay of $264.01.
I am trying to get the Week 1 Total Pay calculated figure to round properly.
Everything I try rounds to $175.72.

Current settings are as follows:
Under Object Tab:
Field Tab
Field: Numeric Field
Pattern: Currently no patterns are set - I tried multiple patterns, but did not get the result I want
Value Tab
Type: Calculated - Read Only
Binding Tab
The Object is named: WK1TotalPay
Data Binding (open, Save, Submit): Use name (WK1TotalPay)
The Data Format: Float
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi,
You should be able to get this using a pattern (eg without script).
If you set a display pattern num{$z,zzz,zz9.99} it will round up to the second decimal place.
The 'z' is a digit picture symbol which will display a number if it exists. The '9' is a digit picture symbol which will display '0' if there isn't a number.
So if the calculation is 0, the field will display $0.00. If you are paying the students a cool million, then it will display $1,000,000.99.
This display pattern will round up the third decimal place.
Hope that helps,
