Try memsetting the initial varialbles to null. Then strcopy your strings
into your variables. MemSet(PText1, somesize, 0x00); StrCopy(PText1,
"Early");

Subject: Function, CharPtrs, and strcat
Could someone tell me why this function wont work? I tried to init the
pointers, and it crashes. Also, without them initilized, the strcat at the
bottom crashes as well. Any ideas on how I can make this function work.
Its supposed to build a string based on
the variable TurnIn. thanks
CharPtr ReturnTurn(Word TurnIn)
{
CharPtr Ptext1;
CharPtr Ptext2;
Word TurnMod;
//Ptext1[0]='\0';
// Ptext2[0]='\0';
TurnMod = TurnIn % 2;
if(TurnMod == 0)
Ptext1 = "Late ";
if(TurnMod == 1)
Ptext1 = "Early ";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 0) || (TurnIn % 24 == 23))
Ptext2 = "December";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 1) || (TurnIn % 24 == 2))
Ptext2 = "January";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 3) || (TurnIn % 24 == 4))
Ptext2 = "Febuary";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 5) || (TurnIn % 24 == 6))
Ptext2 = "March";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 7) || (TurnIn % 24 == 8))
Ptext2 = "April";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 9) || (TurnIn % 24 == 10))
Ptext2 = "May";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 11) || (TurnIn % 24 == 12))
Ptext2 = "June";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 13) || (TurnIn % 24 == 14))
Ptext2 = "July";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 15) || (TurnIn % 24 == 16))
Ptext2 = "August";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 17) || (TurnIn % 24 == 18))
Ptext2 = "September";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 19) || (TurnIn % 24 == 20))
Ptext2 = "October";
if((TurnIn % 24 == 21) || (TurnIn % 24 == 22))
Ptext2 = "Novemeber";
StrCat(Ptext1,Ptext2);
return(Ptext1);
}
