Hi Jérôme,

Since you mention using a display format I suppose we're talking about component variables here (used to be named Local variables I think, but that was Uniface 6 and before).

I did a quick test on an empty form (Uniface 7.2.06), creating a local variable of the numeric type and one of the floating point type, both with Display Format DIS(ZZ9PZZZ). I entered the following lines in the execute trigger:

$CV_NUM$ = 3.418
$CV_FLP$ = 3.418
message "$CV_NUM$ = %%$CV_NUM$%%%, $CV_FLP$ = %%$CV_NUM$%%%"
edit
 

During run time this message then displays: $CV_NUM$ = 3.418, $CV_FLP$ = 3.418, as expected. So... no problems here.
 

Did you use the notation with the percent signs (%) as I did above?

Best regards,

Arjen

Oups, it's ok. The error is from me.

Thanks Arjen for your help.
