FYI - MATCH does a string comparison too. e.g. VAL1 = 43008E-112 VAL2 = 43008E-108 IF (VAL1 MATCHES VAL2) THEN CRT THIS IS STRANGE END does not print the message either. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] [UV]Strange But True
One BIG caveat on that one: MATCHES expects the 2nd operand to be a pattern matching string. If the contents of VAL2 are a valid pattern matching expression, it will be treated as such, not as just any old string. For example: RPTEST 0001 CRT TIMEDATE() 0002 VAL1 = 1234567 0003 VAL2 = 0X 0004 VAL3 = ABCDE 0005 * 0006 IF (VAL1 MATCHES VAL2) THEN CRT VAL1 -- VAL2 0007 IF (VAL3 MATCHES VAL2) THEN CRT VAL3 -- VAL2 RPTEST 16:55:38 13 JAN 2005 VAL1 -- VAL2 VAL3 -- VAL2 The string 0X (zero + 'X') means match any number of any sort of character (alpha, num, etc.). --Ron P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rex Gozar Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 4:18 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] [UV]Strange But True FYI - MATCH does a string comparison too. e.g. VAL1 = 43008E-112 VAL2 = 43008E-108 IF (VAL1 MATCHES VAL2) THEN CRT THIS IS STRANGE END does not print the message either. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

VAL1 = 43008E-112 VAL2 = 43008E-108 IF (VAL1 = VAL2) THEN CRT THIS IS STRANGE END It returns THIS IS STRANGE. Does anybody know why? Easy! UniVerse has a delightful feature called wide zero which says that when you compare two floating point numbers, they will be treated as equal if they are very close. The default value of this tolerance is about 2.91E-11 but it can be adjusted using the WIDE0 configuration parameter (which opens a whole new topic as it is set as the first 32 bits of an IEEE floating point value in hexadecimal!). Wide zero is actually very useful as it simplifies some operations where rounding errors may result in odd things way down the decimal places.

I don't know if it is intentional but the values you are comparing are exponential. So the comparison is of two incredibly small numbers.

The numbers are so small they are equal for all intents or purposes. small is subjective. The earth is only rounding error as far as the universe is concerned, but it is very important to us. To my mind this is a major bug, if you're right. It's as bad as IF 100 = 0.01 were to return TRUE. (Which is exactly the same comparison, scaled up.) The correct way of dealing with rounding error is for the internal logic to be along the lines of IF (A-B)/A 1E-6 THEN RETURN TRUE ELSE RETURN FALSE. While I'm pretty certain 6 is the wrong number, there is a concrete justification for it - when comparing FLOAT*4 numbers it guarantees that you are using the best available precision without falling over processor rounding artifacts. There is a similar number for FLOAT*8, which is what I think UV uses internally. (And I'm assuming A and B are positive, correct appropriately for negative numbers :-) Cheers, Wol --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] [UV]Strange But True
But wait, it gets even weirder! If you do the following, to make sure there's no chance of the two strings acting as numeric: VAL1 = 43008E-112: and VAL2 = 43008E-108: the program still fails.
