How assign array value to normal variable?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I have a small issue fromdate is array variable and I have a code below

DateG := fromdate[1];

Here DateG is global variable with date data type and I am assgining fromdate value to datrg but I got an error you cannot := this for normal variable you have to assign to dimension variable only.

Why this type of error came i can't assign this fromdate array variable to normal date variable.

And I have used this fromdate [1] as function parameter it worked.

Why can't I assign to normal date variable.

One more thing fromdate is also date data type but it's an array.

Please any one suggest me.

Thank you

Ramesh

    Are you sure you are getting error at this line DateG := fromdate[1];

    Can you share the screen shot of the code.

    it still works:

    vDateArray[1] := 010117D;

    vDateArray[2] := 010217D;

    vDateArray[3] := 010317D;

    FOR lvCount := 1 TO 3 DO BEGIN

     vFromDate := vDateArray[lvCount];

     MESSAGE('%1',vFromDate);

    END;

    One more thing I got this error in for loop means my code is like below

    DateG := fromdate[column No.];

    When I compile i got an error you cannot assign array variable to normal variable.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    There's no issue in assigning the array variable value to a normal variable of the same type.  It works well.

    Are you getting error at run time or compile time?

    I tried this and working fine

    arraytest[1] := 010120D;

    testdate := arraytest[1];

    MESSAGE('%1',testdate);
