[RBASE-L] - Re: TEXT TO INTEGER & Tracing

[Doug Hamilton]

Jim, I just spent several days doing this. SET TRACE ON at the beginning of an EEP your code SET TRACE OFF RETURN The other option is to: DEBUG SET TRACE ON Then just set DEBUG on and off, you don't have to muck around through all the EEPS . BTW, another thing that I found is very handy: REPORT|Document Custom EEPS|Clipboard. Then paste it into a blank RBEdit doc - all your report code is in one place to examine. ok, one more.  Tracing through an EEP can be excruciating if you have a lot of rows - like more than 3 or 4. So what I did was in the On Before Generate, SET VAR vLoopCount INTE = 0 Then at the beginning of the EEP: IF vLoopCount < 3 THEN   SET VAR vLoopCount = (.vLoopCount + 1)   SET TRACE ON ENDI your code SET TRACE OFF RETURN Then it only traces the first 3 rows.

I cannot find out why my text value is not changing to an integer. I have tried both INT and NINT functions and I only get NULLS or 0.   Jim   From: rbase-l@rbase.com [mailto:rbase-l@rbase.com] On Behalf Of Doug Hamilton Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 12:20 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: TEXT TO INTEGER   (NINT(arg)) Rounds a number that has a TEXT, REAL, DOUBLE, NUMERIC, or CURRENCY data type to the nearest integer, returning a value that has an INTEGER data type.
