RE: [DUG] Large integers again

[Warren Slater (ASL)]

Hi Could you just use the code AcustomTable['Ref'] := 111; I think that this uses variants and I would not have a clue if this would handle large integers correctly but it would be worth a try. It would be easy to do a search and replace to replace .FieldByName( with [ and replace ).AsInteger with ]   nb The only downside I have found using this method to access fields is that s:=Table['CustName'] will return an error if the CustName field is NULL as this is a valid variant value. ie need to do if Table['CustName']<>NULL then   s:=Table['CustName'] else   s:=''; where s is s String s:=Table.FieldByName('CustName').AsString just returns a blank string.   Warren -----Original Message----- From: Robert martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 26 April 2004 03:27 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] org. nz Subject: [DUG] Large integers again Hi All   We want to access Int64 fields in a DB.  We have code like   AcustomTable.FieldByName('Ref').AsInteger := 111;   We can access Int64s by changing it to   (AcustomTable.FieldByName('Ref') as TLargeintField).AsLargeInt := 111;   I would love not to have to change all our code to the above.  What I would like to do is override the asInteger stuff in a custom table component and have it check to see if the integer is a large int and handle it as above.  Does this sound feasible ?  Are there better options?     Rob Martin Software Engineer   phone 03 377 0495 fax 03 377 0496    web www.chreos.com
