RE: Dumb programming question..

Booth,

What is the difference with the parenthesis ?

Here is what I ended up using:

Eval      ANSWER=((FieldA-1)/FieldA) * 100

Thanks and thanks to everyone helping me muddle my way through this :-)

Chuck

Would there be an = sign in there anywhere Chuck? 

 

As an eval I might try something like this:



FieldA - 1 Divided by FieldA times 100



eval answer = (FieldA - 1) / (FieldA * 100)

or

eval answer = ((FieldA - 1) / (FieldA)) * 100



Hope this helps?

Booth
