Adding decimals

This is weak... but it is late ... hopefully some of you are still online: <cfset variables.grossWeight = variables.totalShipWeight + .5> It doesn't like the .5  How would you write that to add those two together?   (variables.totalShipWeight is a number). Thanks in advance! Paul Giesenhagen QuillDesign

I think I remember seeing a similar problem...IIRC, the resolution was to use 0.5 instead of .5 Hope that's right.  I'm old and my mind is feeble :) charlie This is weak... but it is late ... hopefully some of you are still online: <cfset variables.grossWeight = variables.totalShipWeight + .5> It doesn't like the .5  How would you write that to add those two together?

Try: <cfset variables.grossWeight = variables.totalShipWeight + 0.5> Regards, -- Howie Hamlin - inFusion Project Manager On-Line Data Solutions, Inc. - www.CoolFusion.com inFusion Mail Server (iMS) - The Award-winning, Intelligent Mail Server ((())) PrismAV is Coming ((())) ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

As mentioned, adding a zero in front solves the problem - the reason is that without a starting number, CF believes it's looking at a Structure issue HTH to explain it
