Hi everybody,
I decided to fix one old application of mine (received it recently from colleague and found bunch of bugs/problems). I am having a numeric overflow error on this piece of code
for i=1 to m.lCount
lnSum = evaluate('curtemp.' + sumfields[m.i,1]) + evaluate('m.'+sumfields[m.i,1])
replace ('curtemp.' + sumfields[m.i,1]) with m.lnSum in curtemp
endfor
it bombs on the field NumBldgs, which is N(1) and lnSum = 10.
I'm thinking what would be the best method to deal with this problem? Using try / catch and in case of error substitute lnSum with the max value allowed for the field? What's the simplest way to determine field's max size?
Could you please help me here?
Thanks a lot in advance.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
