SetSessionValue will rounds the results

[Robert Iliuta]

Hallo!


I discovered:

p_web.SSV('PEN:Zecime', (p_web.GSV('PEN:PensiaBaza')*10)/100)

is not the same with this

PEN:Zecime = (p_web.GSV('PEN:PensiaBaza')*10)/100

Example:

PEN:PensiaBaza = 1786

1.The results of first code will be 179
2.The results of second code will be 178

Data type of PEN:PensiaBaza and PEN:Zecime is Long @n_10

Why SetSessionValue calculate this way and rounds the results? Is this a bug?


Thank you!
Robert

Hi,
Clever find but I woul use the SSV method just for storing a value in the session value queue.
Not for calculating purposes.

PEN:Zecime is a long ( so throws away everything after the decimal point.)

p_web.SSV('PEN:Zecime' is a string, so doesn't.

So no, it's not a bug. It all depends on what you do with those values -

>> 1.The results of first code will be 179
>> 2.The results of second code will be 178

you aren't showing how you _investigate_ those results - but that will come into play.

Hallo Bruce!


I'm in a form and I need to do some calculations... When I open the form all values are stored in sessions.
This way I would like to avoid local variables for calculations but if this is the only way... I will do it.

I know I can do p_web.SessionQueueToFile but it is safe to do this when I open the form?

Thank you!
Robert

Me too :-)

But when you open a form all values are stored in session queue... then how do you do calculations?
