Range check error in Val() function

[Christian Knudsen]

I've got a piece of code like this:


Val(TempString, TempInteger, ErrorCode);

TempInteger is an Integer, as is ErrorCode.

If TempString is for example '250', it works. But if it is for example '50000', I get a range check error. Why is that?

If you're on linux Integer is a SmallInt(16bit signed) in mode FPC. Either use longint or use ObjFPC

Oh, snap. I'm still too used to the old DOS Borland Pascal where integers were just integers. I completely forgot about smallint and longint. :) Thanks for the reply!
