<DIV><FONT size=2>Guy, forgot to mention the alterations.........</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The changes made were</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1) in the first formula placed brackets around the
PREV</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2) got the 2nd formula out of its "circular loop"
{that is if MSK interpreted the use</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> of a formula's variable that's referencing
itselve in its own formula, as an error}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Like said, cannot promise this all to be correct since that it

List,<BR>> <BR>> Well, I'm still trying to move our Intermediate Term
Signals into MS and I'm<BR>> still having problems. I have completed
all of the coding and am now in the<BR>> debugging stage.<BR>> <BR>>
First, here are two calculations that I've tried. One works (the one
with<BR>> PREV) and one doesn't. After all of the help the last time
around, I<BR>> naturally tried the Ref() function because everyone said it
was the<BR>> preferable approach.<BR>> <BR>> Any and all help is
appreciated.<BR>> <BR>> COMHCRR:= If( FmlVar("COM-CNTRY","COMCR") > 0
, PREV + 1 , If(<BR>> FmlVar("COM-CNTRY","COMCR") < 0 , PREV - 1 , PREV
) );<BR>> COMHCRR;<BR>> <BR>> COMHCRT:= If(
FmlVar("COM-CNTRY","COMCR") > 0 , Ref( COMHCRT, -1 ) + 1 ,<BR>>
If( FmlVar("COM-CNTRY","COMCR") < 0 , Ref( COMHCRT , -1 ) - 1 ,
Ref(<BR>> COMHCRT , -1 ) ) );<BR>> COMHCRT;<BR>> <BR>> This is a
simple calculation where I accumulate a total, adding 1 if the<BR>>
indicator > 0, subtracting 1 if it is < 0 and just carrying the
previous<BR>> day's value forward if there is no change. Nothing
sophisticated.<BR>> <BR>> My second minor problem is that the answer is
incorrect. I've exported my<BR>> MS SPI data into a Clipper database
to insure an identical test data set.<BR>> Based upon that, the results
should be identical, especially since this<BR>> calculation is so
simple. I haven't double-checked that COMCR calculation<BR>> in both
systems, but I will right now. I should say that I had verified<BR>>
that calculation before but I will do it again just to make sure
nothing<BR>> else managed to get screwed up.<BR>> <BR>> Guy<BR>>
<BR>> Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the
ark,<BR>> professionals built the Titanic.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
