The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
In case it wasn't clear, the takeaway from my last post should have
been: Pay attention to the number of decimal places in the
intermediate result (the reciprocal of the rate). If you're not
actually storing the intermediate result yourself but rather letting
RPG handle it for you within an expression, you'll typically get much
higher precision (up to 63 digits, which far exceeds Excel's); though
on occasion, the structure of an expression can result in much *worse*
precision than what is intuitive:
