Use the following code..

? STR(34/55,myStringLength,myDecimalsRequired)

For example..

FOX HELP for STR function:

STR(nExpression [, nLength [, nDecimalPlaces]])

nExpression Specifies the numeric expression STR( ) evaluates.

nLength Specifies the length of the character string STR( ) returns. The length includes one character for the decimal point and one character for each digit to the right of the decimal point.
STR( ) pads the character string it returns with leading spaces if you specify a length larger than the number of digits to the left of the decimal point. STR( ) returns a string of asterisks, indicating numeric overflow, if you specify a length less than the number of digits to the left of the decimal point.

nDecimalPlaces Specifies the number of decimal places in the character string STR( ) returns. You must include nLength to specify the number of decimal places.
If you specify fewer decimal places than are in nExpression, the extra digits are truncated.

Hope this helps.
