I've done quit a bit of searching, but I'm unable to find any help on doing math with float/decimal as when I try it, it fails.. I'm just trying to get the percentage of the two, so I need it to be a float/decimal. What am I missing?

-DEFAULTH &NOTCOMPLIANT=3.0;
-TYPE NOTCOMPLIANT = &NOTCOMPLIANT;

-DEFAULTH &COMPLIANTTOTAL=126.0;
-TYPE COMPLIANTTOTAL = &COMPLIANTTOTAL;

-DEFAULTH &PERC = 0.0;
-* The following doesn't seem to work.
-SET &PERC=(&NOTCOMPLIANT / &COMPLIANTTOTAL);
-* The following shows 0.
-TYPE PERC = &PERC;

-DEFAULTH &TOTPERC = 0.0;
-SET &TOTPERC=(1-&PERC);
-TYPE TOTPERC = &TOTPERC;

Gavin, Dialogue Manager works with strings. Sometimes the strings can be numbers, but by default they're considered integers.

Use

SET DMPRECISION = {OFF|n}

to set a number precision in Dialogue Manager.

Perfect!

SET DMPRECISION = 2
-RUN

-DEFAULTH &NOTCOMPLIANT=3.0;
-TYPE NOTCOMPLIANT = &NOTCOMPLIANT;

-DEFAULTH &COMPLIANTTOTAL=126.0;
-TYPE COMPLIANTTOTAL = &COMPLIANTTOTAL;

-DEFAULTH &PERC = 0.0;
-SET &PERC=(&NOTCOMPLIANT / &COMPLIANTTOTAL);
-TYPE PERC = &PERC;

-DEFAULTH &TOTPERC = 0.0;
-SET &TOTPERC=(1-&PERC);
-TYPE TOTPERC = &TOTPERC;
-EXIT

FOCUS manipulators? Nice touch.
