comparison problem

[Richard Kreiss]

Fp 5.8.3.18 64 bit Windows

My program does a lookup to an order detail record and put the quantity ordered in a long variable quant(2,.0).

The invoice entry screen has a dummy field qt(2,.) for the user to enter the invoice quantity.  The program then compares the order quantity to the invoices quantity.  Id different the the program goes to qty_msg.

If: quant lt qt
Then: goto less
if quant gt qt
then: GOTO more

The problem is that no matter what the value of quant is, is is always greater then qt.  When qt is 3 and quant is 3 the program quant gt qt is always true.

I have used the debugger and checked both values and both fields are the same size and type.  Any thoughts on why this comparison fails?
