Bug? Serious Bug in 3.0

[MrKim]

For some reason in the new version Decimal numbers are being ignored when used for math. I don't believe it worked this way in the old version. This happens with EditText Views that are added using designer, I haven't tested with Views added at runtime. The Views are setup as Input Type DECIMAL_NUMBERS. Pseudo code below describes the problem.

Dim X as Float, Y as Float

'Ignores Decimal when doing math
EditText1.Text = .8
X = 60 * EditText1.Text 'X = 0
EditText1.Text = 1.8
X = 60 * EditText1.Text ' X = 60

'This works
EditText1.Text = .8
Y = EditText1.Text
X = 60 * Y 'X = 48
EditText1.Text = 1.8
Y = EditText1.Text
X = 60 * Y 'X = 108

I have other EditTexts where the .Text Value is Divided (EditText1.Text/60) that appears to work fine.

As to specific code:
This line fails as shown above when ActHrs.Text contains a decimal.
X = (60 * ActHrs.Text) / (Nz(ActTodaytb.Text, 0) + Nz(RejectQty.Text, 0))

In a separate routine ActTodaytb.Text can be a decimal and works fine.
X = ((Nz(NewCycleTime.Text, 0)) / 60) * (Nz(ActTodaytb.Text, 0) + Nz(RejectQty.Text, 0))

The Nz has no impact, NZ(ActHrs.Text, 0) above returns the same result.

It is a bug in the rapid debugger. Other modes will work properly. It will be fixed for the next update.

The solution is to explicitly cast the string to float (as you did in the second example).

Erel,

OK, thanks. I thought I tested it with Release Compile but maybe not.
Small price to pay. 3.0 is amazing.
