I did a quick TST="2E-29" IF NOT(NUM(TST)) THEN PRINT "NOT A NUMBER"
and did not get a response, so it assumed it to be a number (which it is just in scientific notation), I then added : PRINT TST*2 And received "0" as the answer. Guess our accuracy was set to 29 decimal places, so it rounded it down. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 4:08 PM > To: u2-Users > Subject: [U2] [UV] What is this? > > > I just had a buddy call me to have me test something on my > system that he got bitten with.
