Why does this calculated Quantity give wrong/unpredictable results?
Calculated quantities have the following limitations:
- The maximum size is 255 characters
- A calculated quantity may not refer another calculated quantity in dGB-GDI pre V2.7.2
- Formulas must be expressed in internal (SI) units
- When calculating 'minus a constant', the constant must be preceded by a space. Example: 'XX-3' should be 'XX- 3', or 'XX - 3'.
The command line utility 'calcqty' can be used to check whether a formula has a correct syntax (remember to place quotes around the formula as the UNIX shell will be eager to expand e.g. the '*'). calcqty will also give values to the used quantities so you can check the output value.
