Hi David,

 

Grr I should have guessed the scaled decimal!  

 

I saw the following emails about the issues you are pointing out.

 

Thanks!

This looks like a good opportunity for public humiliation ;-)

I expect an eight element array of ScaledDecimal, each formatted with two
trailing zeros after the decimal point. The first value would be 25 * 16 +
15, and the last value would be 32 * 16 + 15. So I would expect the array
to contain these:

415.00
431.00
447.00
463.00
479.00
495.00
511.00
527.00
