TFMTBcdField, Why can't do FMTBcdfield1.value := 0;

[Francisco Ruiz]

Hello Folks,

I can't understand why can't do aritmetic operations with TFMTBcd fields.

Can anyone tell me the reason?

Thanks,

FRuiz

You can create a Variant that represents a TBcd value using the
VarFMTBcdCreate function. In fact, the easiest way to manipulate TBcd
values is to create Variants for them and use the built-in operators
provided by the Variant type.

See the information on the TBCD Type and VarFMTBCDCreate in the on-line
help. You can do arithmetic with the variants created by
VarFMTBCDCreate.
