Martin, here is the uparrow mode for the field in question: ----: 25 0025: 0.000225 ----: ^ Up-arrow display mode = enabled 0025: 0.000225 ----: There is nothing unusual as far as I can see. Field 5 of the dict record for BALANCE has 19R and field 3 is blank.

Hence, if BALANCE is defined as having an MD2 conversion, so will EVAL "ABS(BALANCE)" It is interesting that the value for BALANCE shown in the original email has more decimal places than any other field. My money is on the data stored in the record having a non-printing character in it. The conversion then fails, returning the original data. I have deleted all the old messages from this thread so I cannot remember who originally posted it. Can you try going into ED for the relevant record, type ^ to switch into "up arrow mode" so that non-printing characters are displayed, and then look at the data.
