The result field should be large enough to hold the largest possible value 
you could have.  In other words, 17,6 if you added two numbers say 3,0 
each, 999 + 999 = 1998 which would be a 4,0 field.  Because they are all 
the same length, the resulting field could be a whole lot larger.  17,6 
largest value would be 999999999.999999 so you can figure out what you 
might need to use for the result.  Probably 19,6 and use Eval(h) to round 
it off.

The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the resul t (C G D 
F)






                 I'm getting this error....  Is there an H spec to remove 
it, or do I
use an error code to trap it.?

                 The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold 
the result
(C G D F)

                 c                   eval      p_P_tax_var  =

                 c (g_g_txamount-linetax)/linetax


                 All four of these variables, are defined ast 17,6  So I'm 
ok, if I
have to drop accuracy after 7 places..

                 Thanks, tim
