Hello

We are getting an error on a string compare line.
LOCAL cTable AS STRING


     cTable := SELF:dbOptParam:FIELDGET(#OP_TableNo)

     DO CASE
       CASE cTable <= Space(10)  <----- This line is crashing




OP_TableNo  C  10

according to the error system it is going wrong in DEQU (FuncSym) with 
Gencode 30.

Arg 1 is Numeric 2.00
Arg 2 is the text from the field

It is crashing on ArgNum 2, expecting a Numeric but getting a string

Any ideas please?

What's in cTable when it crashes??
Is the first character in cTable a numeric??

What happens when you
    x := Space(10)

    CASE cTable <= x

Why not use
    CASE ! Empty( cTable )

CYA

A String starting with R

More info come to light, (more than the erro log passed to me)

The .exe was being called by MSVC compiler in debug mode so there may be 
little anyone here could do.

Running normally all is OK.

The code in question has been running for ages anyway.

But still should not crash like this

Thanks

Hi Martin,

Space(10) returns a String with 10 characters ( ten times CHR(32) )

? Space(10) == "          "       // TRUE  (with 10 CHR(32) )
? Space(10) == "   "             // FALSE
? Space(10) == NULL_STRING // FALSE
? Space(10) == "ABCGE "         // FALSE
? Empty(Space(10))                 // TRUE
? Space(10) == 25                    // Compiler error

If you look to the code above, you will find that the comparison may be 
ambiguous.

regards
Urs
