RE: Error in the EVAL Statement? (when + is used more than once)

"Maybe Peter should try placing a negative sign in front of the 500 and see
if it is subtracted from the 502.34 as expected or added.  If it is added,
the second plus is converting the sign.  It is subtracted, the second plus
is being ignored."

I tried it Donal and you were rigth.  I did this:
c                   z-add     502.34        amount1
c                   z-add     0             amount2

c                   eval      amount2 = amount1 + + 7
c                             -500.00

c                   seton

And the result is now 9.34

Thank you guys for all this clarifications.  We really learn a lot every day!
