    in what connection do you use this ?

    In most cases you use the '=' to assign some value to a variable. As in your case some numeric value to rec_prec.

    Another thought could be the 9999 is used as a max value for something so you don't have to worry about not to catch everything.

    Or to set it to some preinitialized valid value, so your code will run error-free.

    Cheers,

  • Frank,

    Thanks for the feedback...it helped

    It was also expalined to me as follows:

    Whne you code a total or summary line in a table. If the rec_prec has detailed values, 9999 would be used to show one line of

    information for performance puposes.

    Thanks,

    Andrew
