Re: Witango-Talk: Default precision?

2004-07-23 Thread Dan Stein
Wayne is you are using Filemaker then create your own record_ID I would not
use the one filemaker creates. It skips numbers and does other strange
things. I have always created my own serial number. This also lets me use
things like IV1 and have it increment.

It functions much more like an identity key then the build in record ID.

This may have changed in 7 I have not looked.

 FileMaker uses a real number as a record ID.  I do not know why.
 
 Try using @VAR scope$myvarname FORMAT=num:simple-integer when you
 use the data in the result html

 I have a TAF that builds an array from a databases and one of the
 fields is
 Record_ID. I've moved it to Witango and what used to be X is now
 X.0.

That's correct.

Is there a more global approach? I use this sort of thing all over the place
and setting a format in every TAF that uses the Record_ID would be a
Herculean task.

Where did the 0s come from? Does Witango have a default precision of five
decimal places? Any reason this changed from T2K?
