Hey Dennis, that's quite a kewl work-around. Thanks for the idea. The suggestion by Brian of forcing it to 2 decimals with the MD20 seems to have placated our finance folks. But if this one raises its head again I may have to punt it into the end zone with this method from you.
As you said - List only does so much, and I don't want to replace this report series with code, or sink a subroutine into the I-descriptors. I think the erratic floating point math error actually stems from the actual OCONV in the I-descriptor, and not something I can fix, only mask. -Baker -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Bartlett Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 11:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] Totaling an Oconv'd DICT column Regards Dennis Bartlett DB Admin/Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] +27-21-526 4300 (tel) +27-21-555 3970 (fax) For what it's worth, I've been known to COMO the output of a LIST statement and then run the COMO file through a program that reformats the report... some things are just not possible for LIST to do, but it's way easier to get the results via LIST than it is to write (and forever have to maintain) code for it... plus it's easy to add to. It's quite simple to identify the lines you are interested in. I simply HUSH ON, run the listing, HUSH OFF, and then process the output. ------- 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/
