Re: Numeric Vars

["Risman, Mark" <mark.risman@UBSW.COM>]

two questions:

(1) is anything changing between your SHOW statement and your IF statement?

(2) I noticed you only show the first six decimal places of each number.  What 
about to the right of the sixth decimal
place?  What data types are you using for these numbers -- float?

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!!!
