Has anyone else found that Power Builder 11.5 is giving inconsistent results? For example, when using the DEC function to convert alphanumeric numerals into a number, sometimes the expression will not verify, indicating an invalid expression, then minutes later it will verify.

Power Builder 11.5 Inconsistencies?

Not sure if this is related but this is what I had to do to get consistent results with the DEC function.

Code:
decimal{4} idc_no
idc_no = round(dec(il_length / il_width), 4)Matt

years ago, there were problems with decimal datatypes. If You'd assign for example a value of 2.08, you'd get 2.07998989sdf499 or something "trashy alike" in the debugger variable.
We solved them by always using "double".
don't know if this can help you.
