[U2] [UD] PRECISION - not persisting

2006-05-31 Thread Simon Lewington
Unidata 7.1 on Win 2k

The Unibasic PRECISION setting (eg 'PRECISION 6') is not persisting for
called subroutines, but is falling back to its default of 4.

eg
SUBROUTINE TEST
A=24127.14063
B=24127.14062
CRT (A=B)
RETURN

PROGRAM TEST1
PRECISION 6
CALL TEST

This shows '1' showing that PRECISION 4 is being used.  If the PRECISION 6
is moved into TEST, it shows '0'.

I have a suspicion this may have changed at some point prior to UD 6.0.12
(the oldest version I now have) since we have a 'PRECISION 6' in our
initialisation software, and I believe that worked at the time.

Anyone know if there is any UDT.OPTIONS or something setting that I've
missed that will allow the precision to persist for a session rather than
just within a subroutine?

Cheers
Simon

 We used to use the Hollerith code. That was after we changed from 7-track
 paper tape - I was quite good at making corrections to that.

 Trivia Question:
 What's the name of the pattern (language) used for the traditional 80
column
 IBM punch cards.

 My 2 cents.

Hollerith.  Punch that in your 12-row!  I always preferred the big
(96-column) cards on IBM System/3 machines.  They just fit in a shirt
pocket and were great for making notes on the back of.
