>>SET DECIMALS only controls the display of numbers, not what their actual values are. If it is set to 2 or 4, you will see it rounded to that many decimal places. Since it gets rounded to only 4 decimal places, you don't see where the loss of precision causes it to go below .5.

I do't get why you don't just compare ltEnd to ltStart+1800 ?
