I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the [math] was not working. I believe it was Grant who finally explained that math variables have a 16-char limit, or else they will not hold their value on some versions of webcat (the very same code did work on another server). If I remember right he suggested to limit the name at 15 chars just to be safe. Ken then asked if text variables have a similiar kind of limit and Grant said no. Ken asked why... and I don't remember if an answer came.
