Howdy All.

Found a bug in AREV 2.12 on the following line of code (of course the

values would be variables).

@ANS=INT(23450 / 10000 * 10000)

gives 23449 !

Works fine in AREV 1.1 and 3.1 (gives 23450 like it should).

Does anybody know if there's a standard patch to 2.12 to fix this ?

(Yes I know you can get around it by doing the multiply BEFORE the

divide, but we are trying to avoid changing multiple instances of this code throughout a large application).

Thanks.
