List:

I have this line:

Eval(h)   prjq1@=((prjq(1)-prjq@(1))/prjq@(1))*100

Field length for PRJQ1@ is (4/1).

My resulting value is 1095.123456879 and obviously crashes.  I was reading about
EVAL(M) and EVAL(R)... Hummm...  I have different options to resolve this but...
can I still use the EVAL statement?  Do I need to change my strategy now?
