Greeting to all in this the 1st of Jan 2013
And yes I'm working.
I have an array that is being looped though in which to build a SQL string
that'll contain data that will be used in a SQL INSERT.
The loop works great until I get to use the "convert" command. I have to
convert the date into seconds as this is what is been used in the main database
sitting somewhere else as this application is to be used on an iPad using
SQLITE. I have various option in which to convert the date to seconds. The one
I choice for this is when building the string up that'll contain the data is at
the point when building this string.
The problem is as follows. The first time the code block containing a date it
converts the date into seconds successfully. The very next iteration of the
loop is also a date and that portion of the code just does "nothing". No
conversion occurs, the very next iteration of the loop is also a date format
and that too does not work neither.
The code for the conversion is as follows.
case "DateEntryField"
put empty into tEnteredDate
if tArrayElement[1] = "ListDateField" then
put field "ListDateField" into tEnteredDate
convert tEnteredDate to seconds
put tEnteredDate into tValue
break
end if
if tArrayelement[1] = "ListingExpiryDateField" then
put field "ListingExpiryDateField" into tEnteredDate
convert tEnteredDate to seconds
put tEnteredDate into tValue
break
end if
if tArrayElement[1] = "OpenHourDateField" then
put field "OpenHourDateField" into tEnteredDate
convert tEnteredDate from short date to seconds
put tEnteredDate into tValue
break
end if
as you will notice the only difference to the three blocks of code is the field
name were the date is being held. For the rest of the block it is identical.
I've tried the different syntax's but to no avail.
Any suggestions.
