Garbage Value on Multiply

[shri_fwh]

Dear All ,

Today I am facing very strange issue on the multiply function. It is NOT working properly for some numbers as given below examples.

1. 597.67 * 100 = Not Working shows **********
2. 597.67 * 1000 = Working

Could you please help me on this its very strange and weird experience for me. I would request to you all to help to me on this.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "Fivewin.ch"

function main
  local oDlg
  local oFont
  local nRate := 597.67
  local nQTy := 100
  local nAmt := ( nRate *  nQTy )
  local aoGET := Array(5)

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-14
   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE 900,700 PIXEL TRUEPIXEL FONT oFont

   @100,20 SAY "Rate"  PIXEL
   @100,70  GET aoGET[ 1 ] VAR nRate PICTURE "@Z 99,99,99,999.99" SIZE 100 , 20 OF oDlg PIXEL

   aoGET[ 1 ]:bValid := < ||

                          nAmt := ( nRate *  nQTy )
                          oDlg:Update()

                          return .t.

                        >

   @100,180 SAY "Qty"  PIXEL
   @100,230 GET aoGET[ 2 ] VAR nQTy PICTURE "@Z 99,99,99,999" SIZE 100 , 20 OF oDlg PIXEL

   aoGET[ 2 ]:bValid := < ||

                          nAmt := ( nRate *  nQTy )
                          oDlg:Update()

                          return .t.

                        >



   @100,360 SAY "Amount"  PIXEL
   @100,450 GET aoGET[ 3 ] VAR nAmt PICTURE "@Z 99,99,99,99,999.99" SIZE 200 , 20 OF oDlg PIXEL UPDATE

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg


return nil

Helli Shridhar,
I use xharbour and for me it is working fine.
Best regards

Dear Otto ,

Also the .EXE working is stopped due to Multiply (arithmetic) Issue. I have posted another Topic as "OS Error the .EXE is NOT responding"


I am using FWH/Harbour 64bit Version.



Thanks
Shridhar

Hi,

I can confirm that I also get the '***********.**' with Harbour FWH 64bit.
Also with 50 and 1500
The EXE is not stopped

I too observed the same problem with Harbour64 and bcc64.
Harbour64 with MSVC and all 32bits are working correctly.

[Antonio Linares]

The error happens without using FWH

It seems a Harbour bug using bcc7 64 bits in source\harbour\vm\itemapi.c

/* converts a numeric to a string with optional width & precision. */

HB_BOOL hb_itemStrBuf( char * szResult, PHB_ITEM pNumber, int iSize, int iDec )

used from:

char * hb_itemStr( PHB_ITEM pNumber, PHB_ITEM pWidth, PHB_ITEM pDec )

It is not a simple code, so low level debugger may be required to compare behavior with MSVC and MinGW 64 bits.

MSVC and MinGW 64 bits both work fine.

Here is a workaround, not a fix.

Please convert

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

nAmt := ( nRate *  nQty )
 

as

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

nAmt := ROUND( nRate *  nQty, 2 )
 

in all the places in the program.

With this change, you can see the values of nAmt correctly
