Re: [amibroker] [Tomasz] 1 / 0 = 0?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

When I am thinking more on this... maybe it would be better
to display a special string "NaN" in such case?

I will modify the WriteVal and this division handling so
it displays NaN string so it is more obvious what happens.

Best regards,
