<DIV>Hi:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In filepro version 5.0.11R9 in Windows 7, I am invoking dclerk on one file
from another dclerk on a different file with a “system” command and passing it
the contents of a numeric field (edit 13,,2) via the –RY flag.</DIV>
<DIV>This works fine when the number in the field is positive (no minus sign),
but when the number is negative (has minus sign), the value of @py in the
invoked program is null. No data at all. </DIV>
<DIV>I am guessing that this is because of the minus sign in the data, but I
thought this should work for any data value.</DIV>
<DIV>Has any one else seen this result?</DIV>
<DIV>I can certainly work around it if necessary, but this should work,
shouldn’t it???</DIV>
<DIV>Or am I doing something wrong?</DIV>
