This is certainly how the UD compiler works.
I say its a bug, because 'A="1.1"' and 'A="1,1"' *don't* result in the same
p-code - and it doesn't just differ by the comma - one is stored as a string
the other as a num

demonstrably flawed.

Why not just do a VLIST on the program and look at the
compiler-generated object code to see what's actually going on?
I'd do it but don't have access to a UV machine...

Wol,
It is not how the compiler deals with the information but how the runtime
engine deals with the data.
I have
ing A/ as you can
see the runtime engine reports each line as INTEGER or STRING depending on
how the data was entered in the
source code.

Ok, so I've deleted most of the discussion of this one but I felt it was
time to give my two cents (pence?) worth. Apologies if it's all been said
before..
Literal values are stored according to the way they are written. Stick
quotes round something and its a string. Just write a number and

Surely
OneYear = 101
Current = 0203

NextYr = ( Current + OneYear ) "R(0)#4"
would be simpler???

The issue I have had to deal with, which may be common to
this
discussion is where we use fiscal year 0203 for 2002/2003.
If you do A = 0203, then sometimes but not always it becomes
203. where
a = "0203" it remains 0203.
If you want to add a year

Sorry stewart I don't believe that's the case.
And btw to the posted that suggested NU
A = 1 is held as an integer
A = "1" is held as a string
A = "1" + 0 is held as an integer

in UV I think you want the DESCRINFO function
According to the manual, DESCRINFO(X, 1) returns
