Assigning a longint to a byte does not generate a warning either. This is simply how Pascal works. If you want compile-time checks for such operations, use a language such as Ada instead.
Now the intVal should be 0 which is not what I wanted
Enable range checking, and you will get a run time error. Jonas _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
