Hello Tom,
One of VEE's really strong points is that of dealing with data
and data types intelligently and so I would be surprised to see a problem
with VEE converting text "30" to a real to make the comparison.
I would check for strange characters in the text message e.g. you could use
the strLen function to determine that you really only have 2 characters in
your text number ( for debugging purposes ) or use the charToInt function
on both characters to ensure that you have ascii 51 and 48 ( and not, for
example, 51 and 79 ). If that is the problem, you should then trace where
the string is being corrupted.
Let us ( the vrf ) know how it goes: if you want to make an extract of your
program that shows the problem it may be easier to help you.
Regards,
Mike Watts
