Ok, I need to refresh my memory on this routines. Let us start with the pereb.prg (author Rustam Mukumov, most likely at rustam@sibron.ru).

There is an array paNumbers(tnArray) containing the list of numbers. In the original code this array is created in the code and populated with integers; length of the array is the first program parameter.

You need to pass your array to the program instead.

The second parameter is the target total, and the third parameter indicates whether you need to list all of the solutions or you want to know only how many solutions are there.

For example, you can run the original program like

=pereb(10,40,.t.)

to meet target total 40 for numbers from 1 to 10 in the list. You should see the list of 20 solutions.



>Thanks for the routines. I looked at the them and I'm wondering if you could tell me what each one does. The code is fairly straight forward but I'm not sure how to apply it to my situation. Thanks!

>>>I'm working on a reconciliation project and i'm stuck. I have a list of numbers lets say 100 numbers and I have a target amount that some permutation of these numbers adds up to. I don't know how many of them will add up to this number. I need the list of numbers that adds up to my target number. I tried writing this but my brain overworked itself. Anybody ever write something like this or have any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!

>>>Example
>>>Say my number is 362.21 and my number list is:
>>>201.10
>>>25.18
>>>150.11
>>>778.88
>>>151.21
>>>11.31
>>>10.00

>>>The answer is 201.10 150.11 and 10.00
