; The last second of the year 1969 does not exist for FormatDate. That is on purpose. The value -1 has always meant "invalid date" in the PB date library so we have to keep that for backward compatibility. Changing that would break a lot of code so having this one specific second be non-r...

i2pdf version 1.0.48 works fine here on Windows 11. However, it's good to have the most recent version.
Thank you, Luis!

... and I never wrote that. I wrote this.
Well, since freak has now changed the valid date range, the problem has disappeared into thin air anyway.

I can't explain why this is happening. However, problems with implicit typecasting have been reported and discussed here repeatedly, see e.g. Different implicit typecasting with different backends.

I strongly recommend not to use implicit typecasting, but to use Int(), IntQ() or Round().

Yes, they are. See freak's message here

@Sicro: In your original example, FormatDate() does not work correctly with a year >= 10000 when using the token "%yyyyy". After I changed the example so that it uses the token "%yyyy", it doesn't work correctly either. That's why I see a bug here. Or what other token should we u...

The documentation has not yet been updated for 6.10.

Try to read and understand my complete previous message, and stop trolling here!

I think, just like most other users, that PureBasic should work in accordance with its documentation.

Well, this is also a bug report, since the above results of FormatDate() and ParseDate() are wrong anyway: Define.q date = Date(12345, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Debug FormatDate("%dd.%mm.%yyyy %hh:%ii:%ss", date) ; output : 02.01.1234 03:04:05 ; expected by me: 02.01.12345 03:04:05 Debug ParseDate(&q...

It would be OK for me if "%yy" corresponds to the last two digits of the respective year, and "%yyyy" corresponds to the full year number (as it is with PB < 6.10) - regardless whether the year has four or five digits. Note that ""%yyy"" also is not a valid to...

It means that the entire line is ASM when using the ASM backend, and it means that the entire line is C when using the C backend.

Does anyone have this code working fine?

It works well here on Windows 11. I can't test on any other Windows version.

Many thanks, Fred and Freak :!: And Merry Christmas to all :!: Ok. But then it is difficult to test the new beta. Absolutely. What should be the return value for the compare procedure in CustomSortList()? Only True/False or -1/0/1 ? I played a little bit, and the following seems to work :-) (note th...

I don't think that it's strange. It's just invalid syntax.
The situation is not specific for a StructureUnion.

Oops! mk-soft was quicker.
