Hi, Dylan: This issue sounds somewhat familiar and believe it may have been reported as a bug. What version of Mid-Tier, ARS System and User Tool are you on? I ask because there are several calculation type bugs reported in 6.3. When I put in "calculation" as a keyword in the support site's Product Defects search, it returned 30 entries. Mid-Tier 7.0 also carries its own set of mathematical issues. On another note, I was told that the modulo operator issue is suppose to be fixed in a 7.0.1 Mid-Tier patch Michelle

Remedy may be trying to CAST that number into an Integer instead of a Real along the way.

I'm using an AL set field to do a calculation and set a real number field that is set to a precision of 2. The user tool calculates the right value but it looks like the mid tier rounds the value to the nearest whole number. The calculation is like this (((19.2300 * .040000) * 1.000000) + 19.2300) * 2080.08 User tool comes out with 41599.94 and mid tier comes out with 41600.00 Anyone run into this before or know what to do to correct it? ------------- Dylan Wheeler Production Control Analyst Principle IT Operations Downey Savings & Loan Association, F.A.
