Subject: Patch for BlackBox 1.4
Patch.14.020122 for BlackBox Release 1.4
Date: 22 Jan 02
Files: System/Code/Strings.ocf, System/Docu/Strings.odc
- Corrections in module Strings (implementation and documentation):
The procedures converting numbers (integers and reals) to strings
are now asserting that the result fits into the string provided"
The above is an extract from patch 14.020122.
If I remember correctly the old version could format a number into a short
string in such a way that the result looked correct, but was not. Loosing the
last few characters can be benign, but if it converts 1.23E45 to 1.23E4 for
example it is not.
I think I reported this as a bug, and this patch is a solution, rather than
being a problem.
Cheers
Robert
