Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows how much column datatypes of datawindow objects must match in order for RowsCopy() to work. For example, are "number" and "decimal" compatible? Or "char(10)" and "char(100)"? "Date" and "datetime"? Unfortunately, I failed to find this information in help...

Best regards,
Konstantin

Hi Konstantin,

I tried:

decimal{2} -> decimal{0}: works (no truncation or rounding!)

decimal{2} -> number: doesn't work

date -> datetime: works

datetime -> date: works

char(10) -> char(1): works (no truncation!)

HTH,

René

But, not officially supported ... aka: "use at own risk".

Thanks Rene! Indeed, it was decimals vs numbers... Surprisingly enough, copying via dot notation data access worked with no complaints!

Hi Konstantin;

  The DWO buffers must be exactly the same. So, the same columns, data types and most importantly ... the same column order as well.
