Well, since it works for me here, and I know that filePro doesn't
strip trailing zeros from exports, it must be something specific to
your code.

If field xx contains "123.00", and you do exportfile[2]=xx, then the
export file will contain "123.00".

Can you post an actual example of code, along with the actual contents
of the relevent fields, which fails?
