Actually, it needs more than simplification - the result it returns is close, but not exactly right. I use COL = INT((79 - LEN(SITE.NAME)) / 2), which, if LEN(SITE.NAME) = 10, is 34. The exact position would be 34.5, but that half a column is tough to do (hence the INT). The original code snippet returned 30.

And nobody bothered to simplify.

Subject: Re: [U2] Simplify, or why mathematicians make better programmers


COL = (79-LEN(SITE.NAME)*2+1)/2

Is it just me, or are there people out there who really don't get math ?
