I can work around it by doing:

b = x * 100 + y;
a = b;

but I was wondering if there's any other way to either force NQC to use
temporary space for calculations, or force the display routine to block until
the calculations are complete?

You may be able to work around this by using parenthesis (untested).

a = ((x * 100) + y);

or you might try

a = 0 + ((x * 100) + y);

(...) Neither of these work, although the second one does introduce a temporary for everything except for the 0 part. It will result in the display sometimes showing a value of zero. NQC tries really hard to use as few variables as it can so you (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
  Re: Blocking SetUserDisplay?
 
(...) Thanks for the ideas! Actually these yielded some interesting results: a = 0 + ((x * 100) + y); occasionally yielded 0 (as expected), but never yielded anything other than 0 and the correct value (that I saw). a = ((x * 100) + y); and a = (x * (...)

I have a program with a setup routine for calibrating light sensors. During the setup routine, it does: SetUserDisplay (a, 2); Then in a loop, reads the values of 2 light sensors into x & y, averages the readings and then does: a = x * 100 + y; to (...)
