Long Data Type && Factor
Hi,
I world like help on 2 things in VB6 Please.
First. I understand the Long data type has a number range between approx -2 billion and +2 billion. Is there any other data type I can use to get a bigger number. For example, I would like to work out combinations with in varibles. To do this I need to Factor, (I think that is the correct name, and this is related to my second question) 49 * 48 * 47 * 46 * 45 * 44, the result from this calculation is bigger than 2 Billion. I think the Long data type is 16 bit, what I am looking for, I think, is a 32 bit data type. If there isn't a 32 bit data type, baybe there is a command or function that can multiply fractions, eg. 49 over 6 * 48 over 5 etc. This calulation here is obviusly the fornule to work out how many combinations there are to win the National Lottery Jackpot.
Second, as mentioned above, Factor. I am sure there is a VB6 Function that will Factor numbers, example, Function(6) would give a result of 720 that is 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1. Does anybody know this function.
Thank you in advance,
DjJazzy.

Convert Long Data Type To Integer Data Type
I am trying to convert an array from a long data type to an integer data type. When I use the Cint() function I am getting an overflow error. Is there a way around this? Basically what I am trying to do is to convert two successive 16 bit representations (stored as a long) number into a floating point using the MoveMemory API. The .ReadResults is an OCX defined function that reads MyLongData(j) from Memory and stores into a long data type.
Code:
Dim MyIntData(2) As Integer
Dim MyLongData(2) As Long
Dim fValue As Single
Dim j As Integer
For j = 0 To 1
MyStatus = MbMasterV71.ReadResults(hConnect, Slave, Cmd, RegStart + j, MyLongData(j))
Next j
MyIntData(0) = CInt(MyLongData(0))
CopyMemory fValue, MyIntData(0), 4
Long Number Data Type
Hey all (again, sorry for all the questions ^^;; )
I'm just wondering if there's a data type or if one can be made for storing very long numbers, but being able to perform mathmatical calculations on them? (i.e. not a string).
I want to use the Rnd function to generate a 20-digit number, e.g. 40229603967719402863. I can't store it int/long/etc as it's too long, I can store it in Double but then it makes it a floating point number.
Soo.. Any way to generate a number of this size and have it display the full value? I'm trying to generate a unique ID, you see
Retrieving Long Data Type
Folks,
I am trying to retrieve data from a table/column where the datatype is LONG. Database is Oracle. For some reason, I am unable to retrieve the entire content of the column. The amount of data to be retrieved is very small ... 500-800 bytes but for some reason, the records get truncated to 256 bytes. I have found that if the length of data in the column is 256 bytes or less then the whole text is retrieved other wise it gets truncated to 256 bytes.
I am using ADO 2.7 and am using the getchunk method of ADODB.recordset. Can you please tell me what could be the issue here?
Thanks
How To Pass A Long Data Type To A ADO.parameter?

Search/Filter On Long Data Type In Oracle 7.3

Thanks in advance
Long Is Faster Yet It's 4 Bytes And Integer Is 2 Bytes, And Other Data Type Questions
I read in the MSDN library that a long data type should be used whenever possible because it is the processors native data type and therfore more efficient. Why is this if it's 4 bytes and the integer is 2 bytes?
Also, it sayed you should only use decimal when absolutely neccessary when dealing with math so that the math co-proccessor is utilized less. What data type can I use that when divided by an indivisable value won't return a decimal value? I usually use the round() functiln.
Any help would be great thanks.

SQL Server - The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted.....
Hi All
I have developed an application with vb6.0 and sql server 2000 database and working well on my desktop.
While client saving records in db, sometimes they are getting following error.
"The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value."
I'm using ADOs and code like this...
rstCustomer("joindate") = mskJoinDate
rstCustomer("jointime") = mskJoinTime
rstCustomer.Update
' Here mskJoinDate is maskedit control, contains date in dd/mm/yyyy format only.
' Here mskJoinTime is maskedit control, contains Time in hh:mm format only.
' Both are datetime fields in database.
' These two fields won't contain any other data because I have done perfect validation before assign values to recordset.
Anybody have idea about my problem? Please help me to solve this.
Thanks in advance

'The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-ran
Hi,
I am writing a SQl query in visual basic by startdate and end date. It works fine in SQL server and Query Analyser but when query comes into visual basic it error and the message is 'The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.'

Tpe Mismatch Using Long Variable Type
I am not sure what the problem is here - maybe someone can help me out fairly easily.
I Dimmed variable as long, Value at run-time is 123456789 (test figure), and it is coming up as type mismatch error
In the global decs I have:
Code:
Dim gstrUnKey as Long
In the private sub, I have:
Code:
If IsNumeric(gstrUnKey) & gstrUnKey > 0 Then
'this creates the error when variable = 12345678 or 123456789
Type Mismatch...Data Type Vs. Host Data Type?
I keep receiving the "Type mismatch" error, and I think it stems from several fields containing dates which I am trying to update into a MS Access database. What I am trying to determine is what would be the proper settings for the "Data Type" and "Host Data Type", under the Parameters tab in my Command properties? The format I am hoping to achieve is mm/dd/yyyy. (This is already correctly set in my Regional Settings.) I hope this makes sense...I have been searching the forums and haven't found any descriptions yet of the various options for these two settings.
Type Or Class For My Project? ...and Intro (kinda Long, Sorry)
Hi,
I am an old guy who just won't stop trying to learn to program in spite of the strong recommendation of friends and family. I started with Extended Color Basic in 1980, went through DOS batchfiles, C console apps, HTML and JavaScript and most recently failed to really learn C++. I do fine with straighforward scripting in things like PovRay and GameMaker, but until this last year haven't really had time to dig into the more complex issues of a real language. I mostly do Computer Animation, having made a little money at it over the years. But now I really want to learn to program right.
I'm using VB6, the MSDN site (since my version of MSDN won't seem to install right), "Visual Basic 6 Complete" by Steve Brown, and sites like this.
I seem to be doing better this time around, some of the concepts seem to be sinking in. My goal is to create some of the little handy programs that I keep searching for on the internet and which keep turning into overly complex suites while going from freeware to Commercialware and having spyware added.... deep breath ... rant over...
Anyway, right now I am trying to learn more about the care and feeding of user defined types, but I think my project might actually work better with a class or two.
The program is a math testing program which measures the time and percent correct of a range of problems. The user can set the operations used, the range of values to be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided, a few other things like how problems are displayed or how the answers are entered.
It -should- also keep track of an array of students, allowing them to call up their settings, keeping a graph of their improvement, and adding to the challenge factor as they learn.
I believe I can easily do it all without types or classes, in fact, I am just duplicating a program I wrote in a scripting language (GML). But the WholeIdea™ is to learn about VB, This week, specifically types, but in general, good programming techniques.
So I was thinking, from my fairly ignorant proceedural background, and from reading the "Class vs Module" debates on this board, that maybe Classes would be better for my purpose.
I have at least two prospects applying for the position of Class. First I have "Equations", a "Thing" that must hear "range1", 'range2', 'operation' and "format" and must do "Randomize", "don't match operand pair", "don't match neighbor" and "compare answers"... etc. I will have a varying number of these, depending on user settings and student ability.
Also I have 'Students' who have Histories, Scores, Settings(Format,PrintOptions,etc.), Passwords and TeacherSettings etc., and who must do, obviously, "Their math homework".
Formerly I have saved these in an INI style file and read them into various global.arrays. But in the interest of learning what I really -should- do, I want to rewrite them with Types... or maybe Classes if it is the better solution.
Opinions? Thanks in advance. ...and thanks in retrospect for the info I have recieved from your past posts. Great reading over these last weeks.
Bill, the KodeWorrier, apologizing for the lengthy essay.

Rounding Factor
Hi,
I have an increase function that has several rounding options that could take place (i.e. Round to nearest penny, nearest nickel, low nickel, high nickel, etc.) for Penny, Nickel, Dime, Dollar.
Currently, I am writing a function that basically takes the increased amount and studies the last characters of the increased amount and through a select method, I determine how to output the new rounded value.
Does anyone know of a site or code they can share that does this already? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Making A Factor Program...
I've been trying to make a factor program, based on what I have made using basic on a zx spectrum +2. When I press the button to make it run the only output is:
Quote:
,1
What it's meant to do is it takes a number which is inputted and gets all the factors of that number.
I was wondering if someone could help me with it, here's my code
Code:
Private Sub Factorize_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Factorize.Click
Dim Inputted As Integer
Dim Divide As Integer
Dim Check
Dim Check2 As Integer
Dim strText As String
'strTrext is the variable for storing the data
Inputted% = FactorInput.Text
'FactorInput is a text box
Divide% = Inputted%
strText$ = ""
'These loops are my own integer check, to check whether
when the numbers can be divided into the number and an
integer comes out
Do
Check = Inputted% / Divide%
Check2% = 1
Do
If Check2% = Check Then
strText$ = strText$ & "," & Check
Else
Check2% = Check2% + 1
End If
Loop Until Check2% = Check Or Check2% = Inputted%
Divide% = Divide% - 1
Loop Until Check = Inputted%
FactorView.Text = strText$
'FactorView is a rich text format which is set to read only
End Sub
Can anyone see what's wrong? all the coding looks fine to me

How To Dynamically Change A Data Type Of A Variable From One User Defined Type To Another
I have a situation like this. I want to declare a variable of a user
defined type that changes dynamically.
Like i have a user defined type called type1 and another called type2.
And i use
DIM var1 as type1
At later point of time i want the same variable to be declared to
type2. Use of REDIM is for arrays only and not for user defined types.
Is there any solution? Your suggestions would be of great help to me

Double Long Data
Because long integer values are limited to the range (-231, 231-1) I thought I could work on creating a "extralong" integer data type consisting of 8 bytes (2 longs, a high order and a low order) and define a set of basic operations +,-,*,,/, maybe in a class or a dll. The purpose is to be able to work out combinatorial calculations where results grow very large even for small input.
I wonder if any such thing exists and if it looks like a sound idea.
