>> I use key word VARYING for simplicity. I also encounter another similar issue of using %float and %dec I would describe this as the expected behavior. Floating point values are not exact and will not produce the same results as decimal based operations under all circumstances. In this case if you half adjusted the result into a field with 5 decimal places you'd get the same result. Always use decimal values when accuracy is important - unless of course you're trying to make the results match what the accountant sees on his pocket calculator <grin> +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
