Formatting of numbers on receipt

I have created a new receipt based on the standard receipt.xml

In addition to showing the extended full price (Entry.ExtendedFullPrice ), I want to show the extended MSRP as well. The formula for that is (Entry.Item.MSRP * Entry.Quantity).

However, most of the results of this formula will be a number with no cents (such as 489.00). The receipt automatically strips off the zeros, so it prints on the receipt as 489

If I just print the MSRP by itself, the decimals will print, but the calculation of MSRP * Quantity screws things up.

How can I format this so it always prints two decimal places.

You first need to define and set the value to a variable and use the vbCurrency type.

Entry.Item.MSRP * Entry.Quantity

Then place the variable in the ROW: "MSRP|" ExtendedMSRPValue

Thanks, Rob! That was exactly what I needed, and it tells me a lot about the XML format they're using.
