I found a fix. The problem was that I was passing in string values like "$2,000", "$1,999", "$1,000".
For some reason param text in v5 doesn't like an unescaped $ symbol. Escaping $ (\$) in the STRING command format solved the problem. $estim : =String([IOPR_COST_ESTIM_HIST]cost_estimate_dollars;"\$#,###,###,###") -- Brad On 8/27/10 2:48 PM, Brad Perkins wrote: > Given these param text template declarations: > > $row_html := "<tr><td class=\"^5\">^1</td><td class=\"^5\" > style=\"text-align:right\">^2</td><td class=\"^5\">^3</td><td > class=\"^5\">^4</td></tr>" > if ($delete_checkbox) `prepend first column > $row_html := "<tr><td class=\"^5\">^6</td><td > class=\"^5\">^1</td><td class=\"^5\" > style=\"text-align:right\">^2</td><td class=\"^5\">^3</td><td > class=\"^5\">^4</td></tr>" > end if > > Where $row_html would be supplied to param text as follows: > param text ($row_html;$date;$estim;$by;$comment;$class) > param text ($row_html;$date;$estim;$by;$comment;$class;$checkbox) > > I'm seeing strange param text output for the $estim value (param ^2) > which is a cost estimate in rounded dollars amount. > > It is built like this: > > $estim := > String([IOPR_COST_ESTIM_HIST]cost_estimate_dollars;"$#,###,###,###") > > It may also be "No Cost Impact". > > I have verified that the String command is formatting the value as > expected. > I have verified that value is expected prior to calling param text. > > This is the same code that we are running on our production > 4D2003/Active4D V4 system.
