I was doing a clipper app. which used a number of the following commands: @ x,y get var[1] picture "@Z 999" range 0,255 (var[1] is part of an array of 4 elements which are posted as part of the get command and *always* contain numeric values. Strange thing is that these values are fed through a chr() function later on which doesn't make a peep about "type mismatch".) Initially the program worked fine and took the range command. But then I made a change (not in this part of the code) and all of the sudden I'm getting "type mismatch", which was only fixed by removing the range command from the @..,.. get commands. Is this a real bug with clipper or could it be that usually the array elements are initialized to 0? I'd also like to thank the person who asked and the one who posted a response about using tlink 1.5 from Borland - it was a real pain in various places for me to have to wait 5 min for each compile for Plink86 to get through it's contortions.
