Hi.
I have a serious problem with the XPath Sum function.
Am I using it incorrectly? Should I use an
alternative method for my sum calculation. Thanks in
advance for the help!
<Amount>10.00</Amount>
<Amount>1.00</Amount>
<Amount>2.76</Amount>
<Amount>1.20</Amount>
<Amount>1.41</Amount>
Total should be 16.37
but,
<xsl:value-of select="sum($BatchPayments/Amount)"/>
calculates the value as 16.369999999999997
I do not think it matters, but this is on a Sun box
using Xalan and Xerces.
