The result of every EVAL is (deemed to be) a string.
Try using both FMT and CONV field qualifiers. FMT for the right justification and
CONV to try to convince the query engine that it's dealing with numbers - either the
MD or the MR conversion should do it.

Hi Schalk,
Can somebody help me with the syntax of EVAL. I want to execute a SELECT
on a file to get all records where (field 16)*0.9 field(17).
Various ways to do this. Try...
SELECT file WITH EVAL F16 * 0.9 F17 = 1
where F16 and F17 are field names from the dictionary.

I think you mean
LIST FILE WHEN EVAL F16 * 0.9 LT F17

Yes, single valued and Pick.
This works for me.
Thanks all.

Is there a way to assign a justification to an EVAL item
other than having it use the justification of a field used in
the formula? I know you can assign different formatting and
conversion.
Yes, use the FMT keyword.

The justification is assigned in the FMT, not independently as you do in
pick-style dictionary A-

On the use of FMT to affect the justification of an EVAL field, can this be used to
affect a sort by an EVAL field? It doesn't seem to affect it when I do it in unidata.

On UniVerse, the system seems to assume left-justified comparison unless
you specify something different using FMT. Try this:
SELECT ... WITH EVALF16 * 0.9 FMT10R F17
You can also specify a conversion much the same way:
SELECT ... WITH EVALF16 * 0.9 CONVMD2 FMT10R F17
Is there a way to assign
-character names would be sorted before those
with 10+ character names! The FMT clause causes it to sort as one would
expect.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I use this feature often in UniVerse (running in PI/OPEN flavor).
Suppose I wanted to list the customers with the longest names, I would
use:
LIST CUSTOMER NAME BY.DSND EVAL LEN(NAME
Subject: RE: EVAL
Okay.
Alternately, perhaps something like this would work (again, works on
UniVerse...):
LIST CUSTOMER NAME BY.DSND EVAL FMT(LEN(NAME),'2R')

I tried it. It didn't seem to work but maybe I didn't do it right. I did
include the [1] in there. I'm a newbie, was I not suppose to. I'm also
running this in a UNIQUERY statement at the colon prompt. Would that have
anything to do with it not running properly. Thanks for whatever light
you can
