Strange behavior from a variable in TL definition

Hello

I'm very confuse with a problem where a variable does not behave as it should

A function is use to read back a number in a string.

The printed value is:
text 1.26645 number: 1.26645

This value is strored in a variable called HighVal
The same value, HighVal is use in a Trend Line definition. This should produce an horizontal line since both Begin and End Value is the same

Result is not horizontal

If I hard code or define the same variable with the number, then the trendline is horizontal

Look at the 3 snap pictures, I did show the code use in them. The result is seen by the trend line being not horizontal

Hope I'm clear enough

HighVal = Strtonum(rightstr(splitstring(StringHigh,9),7));

LowVal = StrToNum(Splitstring(StringLow,cd))*1;

Value1 = tl_setbegin(LineHigh[cd] , dateD,timeD,HighVal);
Value1 = TL_SetEnd(LineHigh[cd] , dateD,timeD,highval);

TJ, your a real genius. Yes, it work

Is it written somewhere that the End as to be define before the begin?
