Hi Mike,
Hi Andrew,
You talk here about Valentina Reports
Jerry,
Please, read my previous e-mail carefully. I didn't write that you can't
do any calculations beyond 15 digits. I wrote that calculations aren't
reliable beyond 15 digits. I made a general statement. You will find a
similar statement in the LiveCode manual.

OK. I woud like to replace the first word of my reply, from "Nope" to "Yep".
All the rest applies.

I think LC uses IEEE binary64 floating point format which can represent
integers to 15+ digits exactly (52+1 bit mantissa). However, last time this
came up somebody made an example that gave inconclusive if not downright
confusing results. Its probably platform specific as well.

Hi, if somebody has a webstite on DIESEL built on top of revIgniter, please
check and let me know if all is fine. That might help identify a problem on
my on-rev account. Thanks, Robert

Hi Geoff,
LiveCode will do calculations reliably on numbers that are no larger
than 15 digits, i.e. at most 999.
If you do a calculation like
1*2
--> 2
it is easy to see that the result is incorrect.
See page 34 of my book.

I've tried many solutions and not really been completely satisfied with any
of them. I've been rolling most of my own with html and javascript.
It's been such a problem I am considering moving reporting to a web app.

I've written bignum routines for addition and multiplication several times

bog down at about 200 digits -- i.e. take more than a second to run.
I decided to optimize, and about a dozen iterations later, the below is the

Nope. In the message box try 999+111 which gives you a
correct 16 digit sum of two 15 digit numbers. The limit is not in decimal digit
count. The math is binary.

Hi Matthias,
What is the owner on Mac OS X? Does this owner exist on Linux? If not, you
might want to chmod a-x or use chown. I think that the tar man page contains
some useful info.

Hi Mark,
thanks for your answer. I am not sure how i can set that flag for Linux under
Mac OS X.
Using a "ls -al" on Mac OS X i can see that it has already the executable flag
set. But when i
compress it with tar and move it to Linux and untar it, then flag is not set
anymore.

Hi Matthias,
You should be able to set the executable bit for a linux executable on
Mac OS X and preserve it with tar. Any standard tar cli utility will
honor the permissions when unpacking the file. There is no need to move
it to a Linux box first.

I would never set the height of a field to such a high number. Not only
