[U2] Unidata calculations incorrect

Hi All, We have Unidata 7.2 running on Windows 2008 server making incorrect calculations when numbers are close to zero. I understand there is a 'WIDEZERO' parameter on Univers but I don't think there is an equivalent on Unidata. Below we have an example program and output. 001: BAL =

Scott, If you have UVNET, there is a work around that I came up with: Create a shadow account with all file pointers that go to dynamically hashed files repointed to the network version of the file name, ie myserver!/diskpath. Then repoint your UniObjects to the shadow account. The

Does anyone know how different the real Certification test is from the practice test for the Administering UniData 7.1 test? I know the format is the same and there are about 1 or 2 additional questions added to the number of questions, but are the questions the same and if not how different are
