I have running into problems with a commissions calculation  app i am working
on.
Currently I take the amount and apply a percentage to it to get the commission
amount, works great and accuratly  as long as  its a  base number like 1,2,3,
or 4 etc if decimals are used like 2.5 it errors  because my  code which  looks
like

<cfset commamount = getrecord.comm_amount * ".0#getrecord.comm_perc#">

Is using a decimal in the Cfset to  get the proper amount.
Anyone know of any way to do this calculation without forcing the .0 in the
commission percent variable?

Thanks
Mike
