Re: FormatBaseN Blowing up
FormatBaseN() will only work on an integer. Look at this article for more info on it. http://www.fusionauthority.com/alert/index.cfm?alertid=30#tech1 http://www.houseoffusion.com/hof/datatype.cfm Hi folks, Okay, off the thought ramble for a moment and on to something more pressing and less theoretical. Yesterday our network admin updated one of the servers. The hardware upgrade was necessary and the server needed cleaning. The web server was changed from Netscape Enterprise server to IIS4.0 and the CF Server went from 4.0 to 4.5.1. We thought we had all the problems ironed out, but apparently there's some interesting differences. The one I'm dealing with right now has to do with the FormatBaseN funciton. Here's the code in question: !--- get the current system time --- cfset systime=#DateFormat(now(),"mmdd")# #TimeFormat(now(),"hhmmss")# cfset systime_orig=systime !--- now scramble it up --- cfset length=len(systime) !---cfoutput#systime#br/cfoutput--- cfloop index="i" from=1 to=#length# cfset ran1=RandRange(1,length) cfset ran2=RandRange(1,length) cfset token1=#mid(systime,ran1,1)# cfset token2=#mid(systime,ran2,1)# cfset systime=#removeChars(systime,ran1,1)# cfset systime=Replace(systime," ","","ALL") cfset systime=#Ljustify(systime,14)# cfset systime=#insert(token2,systime,ran1)# cfset systime=#removeChars(systime,ran2,1)# cfset systime=Replace(systime," ","","ALL") cfset systime=#Ljustify(systime,14)# cfset systime=#insert(token1,systime,ran2)# /cfloop cfset systime=Replace(systime," ","","ALL") cfoutput#systime# Len: #len(systime)#br #int(systime)# - #val(systime)# - #NumberFormat(systime)# - #IsNumeric(systime)#br #int(systime_orig)# - #val(systime_orig)# - #NumberFormat(systime_orig)# - #IsNumeric(systime_orig)# cfset base16_systime=#FormatBaseN(systime,16)# cfset base36_systime=#formatBaseN(systime_orig,36)# br #base16_systime# - #base36_systime# /cfoutput cfabort (This is here to stop further processing while I'm fixing it) On the Netscape server, the output is: 20150031924110 Len: 14 2.01500319241E+013 - 2.01500319241E+013 - 20,150,031,924,110 - YES 2.00104121051E+013 - 2.00104121051E+013 - 20,010,412,105,139 - YES 8b7ebb8e - 2my27n The IIS Server gets the following: 11410401429203 Len: 14 1.14104014292E+013 - 1.14104014292E+013 - 11,410,401,429,203 - YES 2.00104121049E+013 - 2.00104121049E+013 - 20,010,412,104,932 - YES -- -- Error Occurred While Processing Request Error Diagnostic Information An error occurred while evaluating the expression: base16_systime=#FormatBaseN(systime,16)# Error near line 56, column 7. -- -- Parameter 1 of function FormatBaseN which is now "11410401429203" must be an integer Any ideas or suggestions?

RE: FormatBaseN Blowing up
But why would this work with CF Server 4.0 and not in 4.5? There is no change in the code or OS? Thanks!

RE: FormatBaseN Blowing up
I recall there being some change in the way ints are handled between the two versions (4.0 4.5). I can't remember the specifics but your symptoms point to that as being a likely suspect. Anyone who knows the details care to elaborate? Steve -Original Message- From: C.

Re: FormatBaseN Blowing up
There was a change in the way the parser handles things. Specifically the "length" of an integer value. DC - Original Message - From: "C.
