Hi - I have come across this problem before when I wanted to use the value of a variable or macro in a graphics title or axis label. Rounding doesn't work. I had to convert the values to strings and snip off the offending decimals (too much work).

Dear Andreas,
since it is not possible to store values like 8.77 exactly, like Maarten already mentioned, you might want to tell us more about the reason, why you want your variables to only have two decimals. Maybe there is another way to solve the underlying problem.
