Colin, Thank you, I'd completely forgotten about Float.Precision.
Changing from (the default) setting of zero to any of the other settings (1-4) sorts it out - although it took three passes through the HELP to understand some of the other implications. I'm just slightly amazed that something this simple fails on the default setting and that I don't recall seeing this in UniData before, but I must have because the LOGIN paras in my clients' production accounts include it - Doh !!!
