[Orca-users] issues with large floats and the 'U' value

[Jason D. Kelleher]

Anyone having problems with large floating point numbers and Orca?  I
have a counter that's now a 13 digit float and my graphs all became 0
for the value.  I don't think it's a Perl issue:

[mktmon at barbaros]:/opt/perf/data/dw-ibm/sp/stats/worf $ zcat
stats.2001-08-29-9999.Z | cut -d ' ' -f1,13| head -5  
timestamp       TOTAL_disk_rK/s
999061200       1015910202326.000
999061500       1015916647851.000
999061800       1015921386649.000
999062100       1015940506358.000
[mktmon at barbaros]:/opt/perf/data/dw-ibm/sp/stats/worf $ perl -e
'print 1015940506358.000 - 1015921386649.000, "\n";'
19119709
[mktmon at barbaros]:/opt/perf/data/dw-ibm/sp/stats/worf $

Also, I switched to 0.27b2 to be able to feed 'U' into Orca for
unknown values, but I still get the following warning:

Argument "U" isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at (eval 22) line 3,
<FD> line 210.

I'm going through SourceFile.pm now...

Regards,

jason
