Re: How to do qualified?

Maybe we should make this clearer  cause 

C                   Eval      Z = ((1 + (SSFY - YY)) * 12) - 11
C                   Eval      Z = 1 + ((SSFY - YY) * 12) 

Both Equal out to 1   so 

multiply & divide before add & subtract starting from inner most parenthesis to 
outer most parenthesis

Thanks Peter Again it's been a long weeeeeek  :)

Hi Bill,

No, rules of operator precedencej:  multiply & divide before add & 
subtract.

eval Z = 1 + (00 - 00) * 12
z = 1 + (00) * 12
z = 1 + 0
z = 1

To make it clearer, I should've used parenthesis:

   if  SSCTRY = CC
        eval Z = 1 + ((SSFY - YY) * 12)
   endif
