TOPIC:

trying to use all inc datetime functions in dateutils and none of them work

time does not update even after processmessages.

don't want to do manual verify when inc rolls up or down as that throws errors

Win10 1811 fully updated.

Thanks Sir
Did you try CT 6.7 or LAB 6.8 ?

the server is crawling on its knees, will be near 2 hrs to get v6.7
I have no choice as the current project is a extensive date/time code.

Just go 6.7 running

NO GO

nn:=5;
dt:=encodedatetime(2019,2,20,9,nn,0,0);
nn:= 0-nn; Incyear(dt,nn);

shows 2/20/2019

I show in the "control panel" host libraries d3dxof.dll and d3d8.dll not found.

I got a screen capture of a simple frame and 1 button with output that should have incremented month by 2.



thanks

There is a bug in your codesnippet.

Instead of

Incyear(dt,nn);

write

dt := Incyear(dt,nn);

Then it works.
I wonder why pascal does not give a hint about the unused function result.
Also I learned, it is not possible to set breakpoints or step into dateutils.inc or other systemunits.
(It is possible to set breakpoints, but these are not hit. Even an "int 3" is not hit, because the code is not recompiled after modification)
These systemunits are precompiled, without debug symbols, so far I found.
Errors of this kind are tracked down in minutes, if it were possible to debug them or/and if the compiler would report them.
Is this possible?
