Be very, very careful about doing arithmetic calculations with the engine. From my experience the precision of the engine differs from the precision of 4GL and the engine can decide to drop significant digits because it's decided to use a weird decimal(m,n) combination. Oh yes, it also gives -408 errors on occasion :-( Paul Hatcher Graduate Associates Ltd +44 81 840 3110 - Phone phatcher@cix.compulink.co.uk +44 81 567 1894 - Fax
