Hey Tim, Good point. I thought it might be an issue between 32 and 64 but I think I was just conflating the effect when dealing with other data types. ie.
C_LONGINT($i) C_OBJECT($obj) $t:=OB Get($obj;"key") // no error $i:=OB Get($obj;"key") // ** error $i:=OB Get($obj;"key";Is longint) // no error Or it could be when I was looking at compiled code. I haven't tested this rigorously yet. It's pretty helpful that it 'defaults to text' as it were.
