Powerhouse dictionary not matching Image

[Bob Deskin]

I wonder if you could be running into floating point issues. PowerHouse 
does most expression processing using floating point. In the example you 
gave us, which specific value can you find? Are you using SELECT IF 
SL-DATE-TIME = <value>? And what values are available between the two 
values you have in your example.

Hello listers 
I have an image database that was defined in the Powerhouse dictionary way 
back when the dictionary was defined.  I tried to do a Quiz select with 
the main search item but It would never get any results even though I 
could see what it should have found in Query. Obviously we have no 
Powerhouse programs accessing this database.   I tried various ways of 
selecting and have narrowed it down to the fact that it will select a 
specific number (a date in this case) but will not when I do >= or <= as 
in "select if sl-date-time>= 201104282400 and sl-date-time<= 
201104302400". The dictionary element is defined as:
  Element SL-DATE-TIME & 
    Numeric Size 012 & 
    Leading Sign " " & 
    Picture "^^^^^^^^^^^^" 
And the in the dataset it is defined as: 
    Item SL-DATE-TIME     Datatype Integer Signed   Size 8 
Image refers to it as an I4. Powerhouse version is 8.19.c2. 
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
