Don't remember where or who tossed us the clue about using 0x3eb000000 but that seems to be the correct answer for damn near every application we've ever put together. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 7:21 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] - Wide Zero > > Goo'day, > > We have *always* (since 1998, anyway, 9.3?? on NT) changed > WideZero to 0X3eb000000. > > This way we *always* get 1-1=0 .... > > > Quoting Piers Angliss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Universe 9.n on Unix :- > > > > Does anybody have any advice or horror stories related to > configuring > > WIDE0 ? > > > > I have experienced problems in the past on a couple of client sites > > running the default 0x3dc00000 value and have established, by > > experiment, that a value of 0x3dd00000 would have solved > the problem > > although in fact we have found workarounds and have never > changed a Live config. > > > > The applications are standard business transaction systems, > so no very > > small or very large numbers involved. > > > > One of them has just hit another instance, in this case it > looks as if > > a change to 0x3de00000 would resolve it. > > > > I'm tempted to bite the bullet and change uvconfig this > time (you try > > explaining to an accountant why two lines on an Invoice > don't add up > > to the total ! ) but thought I'd see whether wiser heads counselled > > against it first. > > > > Thanks in advance for any advice > > > > Piers > > > > PS Apologies if you get 2 copies of this message, I sent the first > > from a non-subscribed address by mistake > > ------- > > u2-users mailing list > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ > ------- > u2-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ The information contained in this email is strictly confidential and for the use of the addressee only, unless otherwise indicated.
