Thread Cast Date as Char Error? [4.25 build 2]
Sun, Jan 7 2007 12:13 PMPermanent Link

"mike"
Hi

Recently upgraded to 4.25 build 2 from around 4.19.

Casting a date to string no longer seems to work as expected in select
statements. Appears to truncate the date to the first 3 characters of the
date:-
e.g. Cast(MyDate as Char(10)) gives '200' for 2007-01-01

Thanks

Stepping back to 4.25 build 1 fixed the problem for me.

We're aware of the issue and a fix will be out shortly in a new build 3.

Hi,
I have the same problem too with integer fields. This bug is causing our
applications to stop working correctly and it is urgent that we correct
them. Reverting to the previous version of DBISAM is not an option
because 4.25 build 2 corrects the IF bug that also affected us.
We need a fix to this bug as soon as possible.
Do you have any idea when will build 3 be released?

Thank you,

Ricardo Oliveira

Ralf,

Are you sure that you've got the correct build installed ?  We test this in
an automated fashion before it is uploaded, and I just tried it again and it
works fine here.
