It keeps the original formatting. numero = 48513
interpreted = N
texte = FYI:I copied your original code with some minor tweaks to access one of my dbs, and the newcust variable incremented fine for me.WebDNA 4.5.1 on OSX.I tried a few other tests as well and was not able to confirm any math bug. Whether or not the math variable was enclosed in square brackets inside a math context made no difference.I don't know why it made a difference for you -- can you try it the old way again to verify that the old code still fails? If there is a math bug, I'd sure like to know about it.- brianOn Thursday, March 6, 2003, at 07:24 PM, WJ Starck wrote:> Ken->> Yup, that did it.>> Next question:>> Where the H is that documented?>> Or is this a bug?>> Been tearing my hair out over this one...>> -->> Will Starck> NovaDerm Skincare Science> http://www.novaderm.com> wjs@novaderm.com>>>> On Thursday, March 6, 2003, at 09:12 PM, Kenneth Grome wrote:>>>> This snippet is supposed to calculate the number of new customers in >>> a given time frame.
