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?
