I'm glad you got it to work. If you'd like to show us how you changed the code to perform the rounding you wanted, we might be able to offer suggestions for alternative ways to do it. (And, having your completed solution in the thread helps others who may have a similar problem in the future if they can see how you solved the problem.)
If field 8 always 6 characters? Or, can the length of that field vary from file to file too? (Making that field variable length isn't complicated, if the length varies.)
Can the original value in field 8 ever appear as the value of field 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 in any of your input files? (As long as the 1st field is always left aligned and the aren't any empty fields in your input files, it wouldn't be too hard to be sure that field 8 is modified in the output and not an earlier field with the same contents. But, the code is faster and simpler as provided in RudiC's suggestion if this isn't a concern for your input files.)

mssql_field_length
MSSQL_FIELD_LENGTH(3) MSSQL_FIELD_LENGTH(3)
mssql_field_length - Get the length of a field
SYNOPSIS
int mssql_field_length (resource $result, [int $offset = -1])
DESCRIPTION
Returns the length of field no. $offset in $result.
PARAMETERS
o $result
- The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mssql_query(3).
o $offset
- The field offset, starts at 0. If omitted, the current field is used.
RETURN VALUES
The length of the specified field index on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
mssql_field_length(3) example
<?php
// Connect to MSSQL and select the database
mssql_connect('MANGOSQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi');
mssql_select_db('php');
// Send a select query to MSSQL
$query = mssql_query('SELECT [name], [age] FROM [php].[dbo].[persons]');
// Print the field length
echo 'The field 'age' has a data length of ' . mssql_field_length($query, 1);
// Free the query result
mssql_free_result($query);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
The field 'age' has a data length of 4
NOTES
Note
Note to Windows Users
Due to a limitation in the underlying API used by PHP (MS DBLib C API), the length of VARCHAR fields is limited to 255. If you need
to store more data, use a TEXT field instead.
