Roger,

This ones got me..

We have a bankrcn program

The bankbal is 12,000
openar is 0
opencks is 150,000
other is 11,000

(other is rare, in this case unrecorded deposits at bank)

store BANKBAL+openar to nettot
store nettot-opencks+vother to nettot2

This calculates to 149,000 (nope, it does not)

The system is adding the other to the open checks negative instead of taking it as a stream of numbers.
Did not try (nettot-opencks)+vother but why would that be necessary??

Changed to below and it calculated properly

store BANKBAL+openar to nettot
store nettot-opencks to nettot3
store nettot3+vother to nettot2

Thanks

Would you believe that the below equations are equivalent and should give the same answer?

I would not...

Order of Operations:

Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

Roger,

No, i do not. It acts as if there is a paren there, which is just weird to me

12,000-150000+11000=149,000 in the program. Its 125,000.

I had to add the 11000 (var) on the next line separately to calculate properly.

Fred

12000-150000+11000 = -127000

That is what I get in my calculator and in xdot.

Agree with Richard.

Yes, that was a typo. The issue is the 149,000 it comes up with as if the paren is there.

How can you get a positive 149000 with a -150000 in the equation. Or did you mean -149000

yes, negative.
