Daniel,

Your problem is caused by the implicit type casting. 1/8 means integer divide 1/8 which is 0. 1.0/8 yields .125 as you expect.
The same features are found in C and many other languages. There no explicit type casts in QP. This will work...

output="tst.lst";
float dec, fr;
dec:= 1 + .125; fr:= 1 + 1.0/8;
println symbol,",",dec,",",fr;
