Hey, I found a workaround, so this isn't a pressing matter, but I'd like to know...

Why can't I declare this as a variable:

GLOBAL screen_location=(screen height()/4)*3

DBPro prefers that you do it like this...



You don't need to use the "as integer" bit, as the default variable type of screen_location would be an integer.

ah, that works, thanks for clearing that up. It was just odd to me that my other mathematical declarations were going through and this wasn't.
