Jeff,
What I did was while exiting from the session, there is a small SB+ dialog box
that appears with 3 options, Close,New Session and Re-connect. Above those
buttons, there is a check box which asks - Save session? I clicked that, and
exited. When I logged back in, I found the check against
I shall explain the problem that I am encountering in the best detailed way
that I can. I am working on a billing application (running on UniVerse),
which sends details to a downstream application for invoicing. If several
invoice groups are sent in one shot, where the total is approximately more
(This response assumes that your upstream UniVerse billing application
is totalling decimal amounts.)
I don't know of specific limitations concerning decimal places, but I do
know that precision differences in floating point math cause unexpected
behavior.
If you're trying to total dollar
What... No source code?

In short, problem can be described as it is caused by? the fact that on
certain condition represented by combination of large number of invoices and
over 9 digits totals Universe engine creates a small fractional addition to
total number.
Has anyone heard of this?

Jeff,
Of course the goal here, according to management, is to
migrate to Oracle so that's probably a moot point.
You will have much BIGGER problems then! ;-)

Not quite right.
The problem here is that, just
Going way back to my pick days - I vaguely recall in some programs
that used large number of digits to the left of decimal, we had to set
the precision to a lower number (e.g. PRECISION 2). This basically took
digits away from the right and made available to the left (assuming your
data only has
Hi,
Th String maths routines (SDIV, SMULT etc) that Martin alludes to at the
bottom of his post are very effective, but do require code changes to all
the calcuations in the program.
You can achieve the same effect in Universe by putting $OPTIONS
STRING.MATH at the top of the program.
