When you compare numeric strings you can get odd results if you do not first *normalize* them into pure numbers, instead of strings.
You can force this by doing something like A = A + 0, but for an array you would have to act upon each multivalue singly. This is what the COMPARE function does itself in right justification mode, but a normal equate will *not* do the same way -----Original Message----- From: Bill Brutzman <[email protected]> To: U2 Users List <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Jul 20, 2012 5:37 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Comparing Two Dyamic Arrays Will; . Thanks for writing. . I tried the true and false via the equate statement... and also tried it with and 0. All of the gory code was not included. .
