RE: [DUG] Delphi5 - Real Data type

I believe you need to add the {$REALCOMPATIBILITY ON} compiler directive to your code.   Tom Munro Glass -----Original Message----- From: Mark Empson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 27, 1999 12:01 PM To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG] Delphi5 - Real Data type Hi I have just ported an earlier Delphi version of some code to Delphi5 and I have struc a problem. The earlier program had saved data to a file with data types specified as REAL. I tried changing the type to REAL48, and although the record length was correct, the data returned was garbage. Is ther a problem with the backwards compatability of the REAL48 Data Type??   Mark Empson.
