But wait, it gets even weirder!
If you do the following, to make sure there's no chance of the two strings acting as numeric:
VAL1 = "43008E-112": "" and VAL2 = "43008E-108":""
the program still fails. When you REALLY make sure you're doing a string compare with
IF (VAL1:"" = VAL2:"") THEN
it STILL FAILS!
Oh well, I guess U2 has a mind of its own with regard to string compare. Note that the string compare works OK on most generic Pick platforms.

I had this same problem with our bin locations that contained an E. I ended up swapping E for X before doing the compare to get the results I wanted.

I don't know if it is intentional but the values you are comparing are exponential.
So the comparison is of two incredibly small numbers. The numbers are so small they are equal for all intents or purposes.
My 2c worth.
