Hi,
>Is there any way to teach HLBL not to do this and to output real
numbers like the rest of the system does?
As far as I know no. I solved these kind of problems with two integers and a
"." in between and a little calculation around it. Could be done in a
subroutine and is definetely not the most elegant way. If anyone knows a
better way and tells it to me he earned himself a beer next time when he's
in Dusseldorf (and we have good beer!).
