Hi Folks,
We have just acquired MapBasic and I am writing a data checking routine to flag errors in our data.
One thing I am trying to test for is objects that are not polygons in a layer that is supposed to contain only polygons.
When I tried :-
Select * From Table_Name Where (ObjectInfo(obj, OBJ_INFO_TYPE) <> 7) into Out_Test3
I got the run-time error : Datatype mismatch in expression.
I tried the ObjectInfo example in the manual and it worked perfectly (of course). I can get the values of (ObjectInfo(obj, OBJ_INFO_TYPE) into a table but I don't seem to be able to test them (at least in a select statement).
I could test each row in the table individually and build a results table a row at a time but I'm sure there must be a better way!
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Guy Matters.
