Bill,

Try to display the variables right after the IF:

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

Subject:  Numeric Vars


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!!!
