If so, check your currency setting. It may have been switched accidentally to the European convention (A in R:Base), rather than US (convention B). The command: SET CURRENCY $ PREF 2 B Sets the format for US currency. Bill On Wed, 19 Sep 2001 13:33:13 -0500, Bill Niehaus wrote: >I have several databases in Rbase 6.5++.
