Actually, the INT wouldn't be needed. I'm guessing that the +1 was to make the 79 even Anything*2 will be even
So and even# (80) - and even# (*2) / 2 will always be even , no int needed. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Charlie Noah Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 2:41 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Simplify, or why mathematicians make better programmers 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.
