Re: Floating Point Within A Dialog

Thanks Gene and Rick. I did try initializing the floating point stack =
in the callback (no luck) but didn't mention it. Although the the FP =
package includes an /NDP in an "onenvload:" statement it didn't occur to =
me that the callback also needed it.

I'll bet you have to initialize the floating point stack. Not sure but =
try=20
adding /NDP in the callback.
