Summary:

It has been reported that the function

REPT(SYMBOL,IF(AND(RC)-1)>=1, RC(-1)>0), (1.1-RC(-10))*10,&quot;&quot;))

where SYMBOL refers to a named ASCII character, does not work correctly with the Intel and AMD 80287 math coprocessors. The cell containing this formula returns the error “#VALUE.” When the coprocessors are removed or when the DOS command

SET NO087=TRUE

is run, the function performs correctly.
