Hi. I am getting an EInvalidOp exception in a section of code I have that has previously worked and I am certain I havent changed anything in that area for months...this code is now not working and Im at a loss to explain why...
basically I am getting the error raised on this line s_thedate := format_date_2_mysql(trunc(e_mymean),s_yearname); the format_date_2_mysql just takes a float and reformats the value to a mysql date as follows and s_yearname is a string "2002" There are two functions that are called repeatedly initially that calculate e_mymean but the result is 37500.63 function format_date_2_mysql(s_val:float;s_year:string): string; var w_year,w_month,w_day:word; begin //format the date to what we want decodedate(strtodate(formatdatetime(s_date_format,s_val)),w_year,w_month,w_d ay); if s_year = s_empty then begin result := inttostr(w_year) + '-' + inttostr(w_month) + '-' + inttostr(w_day); end else begin result := s_year + '-' + inttostr(w_month) + '-' + inttostr(w_day); end; end; can anyone please tell me what this error is (I looked at the help file and it could be one of three things but how can I tell which?) also can anyone please suggest a process to follow to sort it out? I think it has something to do with the data type I am using (extended) but on the other hand I cant see this being an issue as this is the most significant datatype for real anyway...
