Hi JeffYou have misplaced the parenthesis in the 5th parameter of the following statement:
midrange.com
Rc = SQLBindCol( Stmt
: 6
: SQL_DECIMAL
: %Addr(Row(1).AvgTyr )
: %Len(Row(1).AvgTyr * 256) + %DecPos(Row(1).AvgTYr)
: F6) ;
You don't want %len(x*256)! you want %len(x) * 256.
The former statement says "how big of a variable would I need to store the
result of x*256?" The latter says "how big of a variable is x? Multiply
that by 256."
For example, if x is a 5,2 field containing 500.00. %len(500 * 256) = 6 (since 500*256 = 128000 which is 6 digits) however, %len(x)*256 = 1280 since %len(x)=5, and 5*256 = 1280.
To fix your code, move the parenthesis so you're multiplying the result of the %LEN BIF by 256 instead of multiplying the input to the %LEN BIF. For example:
: %Len(Row(1).AvgTyr) * 256 + %DecPos(Row(1).AvgTYr)
