Hi,

I tested the XtoC() function using numeric parameter but doesn't return
the expected value. Logical, Char and Date parameters works fine
though. Maybe this is a bug or Numeric type conversion is not covered
with the above function?

Thanks,
Mario

Hi Massimo,  please find below sample:

function test
local x
x:=1.25
? XtoC(x) //displays ascii characters
x:="1.25"
? XtoC(x) //displays "1.25" string value
x:=date()
? XtoC(x) //displays YYYYMMDD date value
return nil

Thanks,
Mario

It's expected CT3 compatible behavior.
XTOC() converts numeric values to strings with
binary representation of IEEE758 double value.

Hi Przemek,
Many thanks for the elaboration of the function behavior using numeric
parameter.

Best regards,
Mario
