I'm converting a hexadecimal number to decimal. the below code works and placed it in my label called myNumber
put baseConvert(tmpVar,16,10) into field myNumber
The problem is I now need to use myNumber to do some calculations with and place it in a field called myAnswer
Hi Paul,
Try something like this:
put baseConvert(tmpVar,16,10) into tMyVariable
-- do other stuff with tMyVariable which now contains the decimal number e.g.
put tMyVariable * 2 into tMyDouble
-- now you have 2 variables which can be put anywhere you like put tMyVariable into field "myNumber" put tMyDouble into field "myAnswer"
I always put object names inside quotes as it allows for multi-word names and makes the code easier to read. I wasn't sure whether you had a variable called myNumber that contained either the name of a field or the number of a field, but by putting it into quotes, it is obviously the name of the field.
This may not be what you were trying to do, but just ask again if I've got it wrong.
Cheers, Sarah
