Round off parameter

[suresh070379]

Hi,
I need to round off the weight in pounds for one decimal place. I have created external parameter (KGS) for weight in kg. In my case, it is 1.6 kg. When I create new integer type parameter and provide formula, it is coming as 3. I want 3.5 Lbs. I tried by 1*round(KGS*2.204622). It is coming as 4 only. Kindly give me an idea to round of in one or two decimal places. I checked in net and tried various methods. But, I unable to find the solution. Related links are
