Not a bug.  Probably your SET DECIMAL TO command is your
culprit.  You want two decimals in your TRANSFORM() but
have SET DECIMAL set to less than two decimals.  Sounds
like the SET DECIMAL statement wins the arguement.
* Comfirmed the results from as far back as FoxBASE+ 2.10
* up thru FoxPro 2.6 for DOS/Win
amt = 8999.98
set decimal to 0
? transform(amt, '999,999.99')
* -- prints 9000.00
set decimal to 1
? transform(amt, '999,999.99')
* -- prints 9000.00
set decimal to 2
? transform(amt, '999,999.99')
* -- prints 8999.98
