I assume when you use the word TOTAL, you are using a label to describe an atom element value in this sequence, and not the value "TOTAL", a string. If this is the case, simply accessing the second element of the above sequence will solve your problem. For example, if the value { 0, TOTAL } is stored in a sequence-type variable cum_total, you state: atom final_total (at beginning of program) final_total = cum_total[2] This will store the second element of the sequence in variable final_total. You then display final_total. :) >My second program keeps on giving me type_check failure or true/false >must be an atom. My input is a atom! >Dave to the rescue please! Duke, this is where I am going to need to see your source. Chances are your input (if you are using get(0) for example), is not an atom, but a sequence. Can you send it to me at moggie at interlog.com? I'll personally look it over and send you back the corrections, with explanations. Thanks! David Gay
