Hi,

 

I did run to the following: I have a data window with column with data type number.

In the ItemChanged event I have the following code 

Amount = Double(data)

The data is type is string per PowerBuilder in the ItemChanged event.

As expected, when the data has value -100 the Double(data) returns -100

But if the value is +100 (the user has entered the plus sign) the Double(data) returns 0.10
I noticed also that doing Real(data) will return 100, so that will work.

I'm curious to learn if there is e.g. the plus sign has a special meaning in this context.

 

Thanks,

Kari

@Kari Paukku.

I just was informed that Appeon solved that issue. I tested both your example application and the one I submitted as a test case. Both seems to work ok.
You can see the whole communication at: https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/track/view?id=10318.

Hi,

here is a simple test application. What the .pbl contains is window and in it a data window object. The data window (d_test) is an external one with one column.

If one enters +100, the ItemChanged event will show first the result of Dound(data) and then result of real(data) in a messagebox.

With +100 the result is 0.1 when doing double(data), with real(data= the result is 100.

Hope this helps to spot where the issue is. My PB version is 2022R11900  and running the development environment as x64, but I get the same results also whenusing x86.

Kari

Hi, Kari -

What Windows O/S international/localization is in use when this occurs?

Is the plus sign (+) in the column DWObject keyed from the numeric keypad or the standard plus sign key in the upper-right corner of the keyboard?

Best regards, John

What I tested it didn't make any difference - the same result.

Hi Kari, As Miguel mentioned, this might be a bug.  But as you notice it works for Benjamin.  So we need your help to provide test case and open support ticket.  Thanks.  https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/newbug

What version are you on? In PB2019 both real(data) and double(data) give me 100 for "+100" from a number column.
