Using vfp5...

I have a formula which gives me a temporary unique key...

TempKey = -(datetime() - {1/1/1970 12:00am})

In the COMMAND WINDOW...
With my home computer, on the results are displayed
in scientific notation.

? -({9/10/2001 12:00am} - {1/1/1970 12:00am})
displays -1.00008E+9

On my machine at work, the full result is displayed.

? -({9/10/2001 12:00am} - {1/1/1970 12:00am})
displays -1000080000

I cannot find a SETting that controls this behavior.
