    Decimal Centigrade and Fahrenheit temps do not display correctly on the "Numeric" tab in client 49. Whole numbers are OK. Decimal temps are displayed as "-1"

    Decimal temperature displays correctly on an acroform using $tempF or $tempC variable.

    Investigation of DIGITAL table in remr.fdb in one case from today revealed: RTYPE=TempF, RDVALUE=null, RVALUE=98.8000030517578 (I had typed in 98.8).

    An old one from 11-Mar-2008 revealed: RTYPE=TempF, RDVALUE=98.600, RVALUE=98.5999984741211

    In both cases, Numeric tab displays "-1"

    I might have similar new problem with baby weights.

    The -1 display is because an error was detected in pulling the data to Synapse.

    Are you using a Linux Firebird or Windows, and what version?

    I'm using Firebird 1.5 that was part of the synapse server installer package. Seems to work fine, so I haven't upgraded to 2.0+ on my Win2k VM. My remr.fdb goes back to 11/2007 or something. I was using it with Linux Firebird from about 2-2008 to 4-2008 or so, and we did have those decimal issues with Wine back then. That seems to have been long resolved with all the synapse updates since.

    Issue is now resolved with a server update.
