Thank you for your quick response, May I suggest to, in future updates, implement this feature in a different syntax, for example 0c instead of 0 for Octals, because I think a number starting with a zero, the zero should be ignored as in most languages.

You can strip the null from the resulting string later, bu you have to do that by hand. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- [2001-03-20 18:38:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi there, I don't know if this is a bug, but while writing a form to enter lap times like: hours,minutes,seconds,milliseconds milliseconds are likeley to start with a 0 (zero). Now I found that this results in the Decimal value of the Octal-integer. for example: 035 will be represented as: 29 Is this a bug or hidden feature? If this is not a bug, then is there any other way to pass a decimal value starting with a 0 (zero)?
