I stepped through your code in the debugger and this line did execute.
I also watched the variable PXX and after entering 55 for DXX and executing this line PXX contained the value of .55.
Try stepping through your code using the debugger and watching variables and see if this line executes.

Alone by itself it will work, but in a program with a few more
subroutines it does not work.
I guess I should put the the wholoe program out here and be done
with it.
