Actually, I think you need a semi colon, not a comma there...
Anyway, there are a lot of these floating point bombs to contend with.Here's two simple addition ones that differ with variable types.
PRINT USING and FIX() are a couple of workarounds but for better reliability across a large number spectrum you need to consider using something like my string math routine, I believe Mark and Steve have ones of their own, too, or Jack's excellent numeric dec-float routine. Of course you need to call these as libraries and add them with an $INCLUDE statement or just get comfortable with a sub addition that consists of several hundreds of lines.
