george:
Are you sure that the value [i] is the same? Try printing it
out at the same point in your program loop

What would happen if you used {} in the second assignment?
tmp = sprintf("%d", { screenTable[i][8] } )&"."&sprintf("%d", {
screenTable[i][7] } )
3. RE: can't figure this out
Hi George,
the problem is that you are using printf("%d", tmp) rather than printf("%s",
{tmp}).
This demonstrates the differences...
-----------
sequence screenTable
screenTable =
{{1,2,3,4,5,6,2,9,0},
{0,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2}
}
sequence tmp
for i = 1 to length(screenTable) do
printf(1,"%d %d\n",{screenTable[i][8],screenTable[i][7]})
tmp =
sprintf("%d",screenTable[i][8])&"."&sprintf("%d",screenTable[i][7])
printf(1, "%d\n", tmp)
printf(1, "%s\n", {tmp})
puts(1, tmp & "\n")
end for

george:
Why are you using the sprintf() when you can do this
printf(1,"%d.%0.2d\n",{screenTable[8],screenTable[7]})
