Type Conversion

brianbernard191

Type conversion is not possible because one of the operators contains an invalid type.

I have been trying to simply add two variables of type integer and display the result in a pop up window using MESSAGE function.

op1 := 10;
op2 := 20;
op1 := op1 + op2;
MESSAGE(op1);

This is the code segment. The type of variables op1 and op2 is defined as INTEGER.

Try...

MESSAGE('%1',op1);

...messages always have to be text, so you need to convert the Integer (op1) to text. You could also have used....

MESSAGE(FORMAT(op1));

No problem!

P.S. You should mark the post as "Solved" so a tick appears against the post and others can see that it's already been resolved

@Kishorm : How can I mark a post as solved? I couldn't find any option for that. I am completely new with mibuso.

Try...

1. Go back to the Origin of the thread.
2. Click on "Edit" button.
3. Attribute field will appear with drop-down default value "None".
4. Select "Solved" form the drop-down and Submit.

I hope that EDIT suggestion was for old site.
for new site...didn't you find "Did this answer the question YES or NO" option under the replies?

Oops, I just searched for the answer to this as I haven't posted a question in years so haven't had the chance to do it myself and didn't realise this related to the old site. Hopefully, Mohana's reply on this will prove to be a little more useful
