Two problems

1.Numbers around 4000000000 are converted to
negative ones.

For example,
alert('4000000000')
results in -294967296.

2.Leading zeroes are suppressed.

For example,
alert('00099')
results in 99.

Both occurs on either ooRexx 3.01 or Object Rexx 2.1.3
under W2K Pro SP4.

HTA to compare ooRexx result with JScript

Example code for using OLEVariant

This is fixed by the inclusion of the OLEVariant class in ooRexx's OLE Automation implementation. OLEVariant is include in ooRexx 3.1.2 which is now available.

I am attaching the file: NumberNonProblem.hta which demonstrates how to code ooRexx to produce the same results as JScript and contains some extra explanatory text.
