Is the argument of abs() would be fixed to signed, and we would have automatic type conversion what would be the result of this code ? var i : card32; i := 4294967295; i := abs(i); IMHO i needs to be 1. - 4294967295 = $FFFFFFFF - $FFFFFFFF in signed is -1 - abs of -1 is 1 -Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
