I would like to suggest a small enhancement for the calcRecord, calcoutRecord and waitRecord code that uses the postfix routine. This enhancement will allow the MAX and MIN operators to be used on many more input fields than is currently possible due to the limited number of characters permitted in the CALC fields of these records.
MAX(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I)
I know I can do the calculation with a select record and a calcout, but these records are used in a time sensitive part of my database and the calculation is nested quite deeply. If at all possible, I would like to complete the operation using a single calcout record.
Unfortunately, most of the obvious punctuation characters have already been used for other operations, but I suggest that "|<" and ">|" might be suitable as binary MIN and MAX operators, respectively.
