HI All, I don't understand why the IF statement THEN clause is executed in the following code: CUSTOMCALC: 447: IF INTREC+PRNREC#INTPAY+PRNPAY THEN :: S CUSTOMCALC: 448: ERRMSG='ACCT/CALCULATOR MISMATCH: ':(INTREC+PRNREC)'R2':'/':(INTPAY+PRNPAY)'R2' :: INTREC/ NUMBER: 24016.35 :: PRNREC/ NUMBER: 978.56 :: INTPAY/ NUMBER: 24016.35 :: PRNPAY/ NUMBER: 978.56 :: ERRMSG/ STRING: T r L=42 `ACCT/CALCULATOR MISMATCH: 24994.91/24994.91' To my tired eyes, they are equal and we should not take the THEN. What am I missing here? Thanks for your help!
