Not a Number error - conversion from string to number?

  • i have this situation

    set(var1, 5);

    and then in action this

    if (var1 != null, set(view.hlookat, var1));

    Problem is that in debugging mode tracing hlookat says that its NaN??? How can i make my var1 a number?

    regards

  • Hi,

    by calling:

    Code
    set(view.hlookat, var1)

    you will set the 'view.hlookat' variable to the text 'var1', and because the view.hlookat variable is a Number variable the result will be NaN.

    To set to view.hlookat to the content of 'var1', either call:

    Code
    set(view.hlookat, get(var1))

    or

    Code
    copy(view.hlookat, var1)

    Best regards,
    Klaus
