Odd data in message box

[Dan Friedman]

Mark and Jacque,

Thank you for your assistance.  There was invalid data in sTime.  Interestingly, it wasn't from the data I was loading... it was old data coming from a reference to an array in a datagrid.  Setting the datagrid's Persistent Data to false resolved the problem.

A couple follow up questions:

1. Why didn't the debugger throw an error?  Instead, it put this error chunk in the message box?
2. Where did Jacque get that list of codes?   Is there some support docs I don't know about that explain these types of thing?

Again, thank you both for your help.  What would we do without this list, and the talented and helpful people on it?!

    That's what I thought. The error you're getting (see Jacque's annotated 
    list) is pointing to an invalid value for sTime in some iteration of 
    that function call. My guess is either sTime is empty or not a numeric 
    value.

    Try something like this to pinpoint the error:

       if char 1 of timeOffset = "-" then
         put ((timeOffset*60)*60) into pTimeOffset
         put sTime - pTimeOffset into sTime
       else
         try
             put sTime + ((timeOffset*60)*60) into sTime
         catch e
             put the sTime & cr executionContexts & cr after msg
         end try
       end if
