Numeric Vars

[Bill Beckner <Bbeckner@ICC.CC.IL.US>]

Here's a puzzle for all you SQR experts....

I've got these two numeric variables, assigned the same amount, and I
display their values like this:

    SHOW '#New_Posted_amt ' #New_Posted_amt
    SHOW '#Ttl_Proj_Amt2  ' #Ttl_Proj_Amt2

And the following shows in the sqr.log:

    #New_Posted_amt 12696.840000
    #Ttl_Proj_Amt2  12696.840000

When the following comparison is performed:

    if #New_Posted_amt > #Ttl_Proj_Amt2
        do Print-Error-Message
    end-if

I always get an error message!!!  Any ideas?  We're using SQR 4.3.4

Thanks!!!
