Subject: Re: ruby - datavision formula script

Thanks for the help.  This is a great package you have here.

When I try:

{table.field} / 100

I get this error:   java.util.EmptyStackException

and without the spaces (ie: {table.field}/100):

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Operator "/100" is illegal

Am I doing this correctly?

Jody
