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 http://li

Thanks all. They were both part numbers on our system, but returned as the same part number. This must have been due to UniVerse seeing it as a number not a string. We got around this problem by goint if (val1:"x" = val2:"x") then Thanks all for your help Regards Bjorn -Original Message

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 mailing

Presumable it's treating it as an exponential and the resulting numbers are outside the precision comparison level so come back as equal. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bjorn Behr Sent: 12 January 2005 11:08 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.or
