Goo'day,
I wish I could help, but.....
We've had UV sites since 1998, some of which display a problem in our "Cash Posting" routine where an amount is passed to a subroutine and the operator "posts" parts of that amount to invoices. The problem is that once all of the cash isexpended, the "Balance to post" is zero, but on the odd occasion on the odd UV machine (all NT's or W2000) the subroutine refuses to believe that "zero" is the corect figure, with much gnashing of operator teeth..... We changed WideZero to 0x3eb00000 and "no more problem" - ever....
Nobody else has ever explained it, either.... but VMark's first suggestion back then was to change it.....

I'm obviously missing something here. Our system processes thousands of financial transactions a day with most calculations being done to several places.
We've never had a need to change the Wide0 settings from the default....

Goo'day,
We have *always* (since 1998, anyway, 9.3?? on NT) changed WideZero to 0X3eb000000.
This way we *always* get 1-1=0 ....
