Navision can't count ...

rdebath

I thought you might like this little Navision bug ... tested 2.6, 4 and 5sp1

Variables I and J are integers, init to zero.

FOR J := 1 TO 31 DO I := I * 2 + 1; I := (-1 -I) * -1;

Just make sure you've saved everything :twisted:

I think it's nothing about count but about overflow. For normal an error message like

Overflow under type conversion of Decimal to Integer.

Value: -2.147.483.648

should appear. But in this case the client crashes.
Try this

i := (-1 -2147483647) * -1;

and you will get the same bug.

other magical tricks include the folowing

make a table

in the ondelete trigger put a local var of the same type as the table

and put the following code in the ondelete trigger.

localvar.findfirst;
localvar.delete(true);

now insert some records and F4 the first record :bug: :bug: :bug:

There is other (worked in 2.6, I do not know if still working...)

RecVar.COPYFILTERS(RecVar);

On Native Server it crashed whole DB server...[/code]

Navision has never been good with stack overflows, I think it got a bit better with about 3.6 when it stopped dieing with direct recursion but there are still lots of indirect methods.

OTOH this doesn't generate any error, it should be the same.

i := -(-1 -2147483647);

Of course it's not the right result... :bug:

Another nice one is this:

i := (-1 -2147483647);
i := i / 1;

The first line is OK but the second (!) generates an error.
