FYI - MATCH does a string comparison too. e.g. VAL1 = 43008E-112 VAL2 = 43008E-108 IF (VAL1 MATCHES VAL2) THEN CRT THIS IS STRANGE END does not print the message either. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit

VAL1 = 43008E-112 VAL2 = 43008E-108 IF (VAL1 = VAL2) THEN CRT THIS IS STRANGE END It returns THIS IS STRANGE. Does anybody know why? Easy! UniVerse has a delightful feature called wide zero which says that when you compare two floating point numbers, they will be treated as equal

Just out of curiosity: How do you arrive at numbers of the E-108 magnitude ? After all, measuring the diameter of a quark (sth like E-18 m ) with the diameter of the entire (known) universe ( 3 * E+26 m ) as the unit, only gets us down to about E-44??? -- mats --- u2-users
