Not able to multiply two variables in script

[richters]

Hi all,

I have got a short question.

I am trying to multiply 2 variables:

let rundung = $(aktuellesV)*$(j);

They both should contain numbers. I am able to multiply j by j but there must be an issue with aktuellesV.

When I trace it, it looks like a number. I also tried it with the num()-function.

Does someone has got an idea how to deal with it?

Thanks in advance!

No idea what aktuellesV is or how it is created, but you have to make sure it is a number. Using num on a string will return a null, so that's not going to help if aktuellesV is a string. Maybe num# can help, but it's better to make sure you use a number when you create the variable.

aktuellesV is created with LEt aktuellesV=num(peek('hilfsverhaeltnis',$(i),'Hilfsfall'),'0,0####'); . I know that in hilfsverhaeltnis there are just numbers.

Well, I dont get it. isnum() returned a -1 which means, it defenitely was a number. However, I had to replace the ',' with a '.' in the number to be able to multiply that...funny thing.
