Re: Strang Issue in EVAL

You really haven't told us what is happening, just that it is strange. Here is what I would expect:

Fld1 = 1036.66;
Fld2 = 2.00;
Fld1 += Fld2;

When it is all said an done, Fld1 = 1038.66 and Fld2 = 2.00.

What are you getting?

Then x = 1036.66 and y = 2.00 and you expected a result of 1038.66?
What result did you get?
