Right in my snippet it's just 40-Len(x) But the original programmer couldn't see that deeply.

I'm guessing that the +1 was to make the 79 even nything*2 will be even So and even# (80) - and even# (*2) / 2 will always be even , no int needed. -----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] n Behalf Of Charlie Noah ent: Monday, November 14, 2011 2:41 PM o: U2 Users List ubject: Re: [U2] Simplify, or why mathematicians make better programmers Actually, it needs more than simplification - the result it returns is lose, but not exactly right. I use OL = INT((79 - LEN(SITE.NAME)) / 2), which, if LEN(SITE.NAME) = 10, is 4. The exact position would be 34.5, but that half a column is tough to o (hence the INT). The original code snippet returned 30.
