setPref "preferences/global/lastRunDate", (the seconds) # e.g 1568144731
put getPref ("preferences/global/lastRunDate") into tLastRunDate returns {"preferences": {"global": {"lastRunDate": 1.56814e+09}, [snip] # we are using jsonImport put jsonImport(tJSON) into tPreferencesA # handle data and put jsonExport(tPreferencesA) into tJSON. # thereafter my simple arithmetic functions like put (tLastRunDate + 3600) into 1HourLater # now throw a "left operand" error.... How can we prevent the coercion of simple integer notation to scientific? Why is it needed for simple 10 digit number is beyond me. There is nothing about automatic coercion in the dictionary.
