This is an interesting issue. You can work around it by using the DROUND. I.E. A = DROUND(A, 2)

Wide-zero is a Universe-specific feature so wouldn't affect UniData I'm baffled - adding additional prints to the code suggests that both variables are of equal length consisting of the same characters, that A-B = 0 but that A is greater than B. If you change the assignment of B to B = 4.58 - 4.59 then it works fine, but B = 0 - 0.01 still fails If you step through with the UniBasic debugger everything still appears the same, but this time it works correctly !! Any UniData gurus out there who can suggest an explanation ?

Seems we've seen a lot of that kind of stuff in the past few months. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 5:48 PM To: u2users Subject: UniBasic code that should work Posted on behalf of a colleague who wishes to remain nameless... UniBasic code that should work The results of the following code are proving to be troublesome: A = 4.57 + (-4.58) B = (-0.01) PRINT 'TEST ONE: ARE ':A:' AND ':B:' THE SAME? ': IF A = B THEN PRINT 'YES' END ELSE PRINT 'NO' END A = OCONV(A,'MD20') B = OCONV(B,'MD20') PRINT 'TEST TWO: ARE ':A:' AND ':B:' THE SAME? ': IF A = B THEN PRINT 'YES' END ELSE PRINT 'NO' END You would expect both tests to return 'YES', but in fact, only the second test returns 'YES'. TEST ONE: ARE -0.01 AND -0.01 THE SAME? NO TEST TWO: ARE -0.01 AND -0.01 THE SAME? YES Is there something simple that I am missing? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "u2users" group.
