VAL problem

[Sébastien Trudel]

Hi there!!

I have problem running this in PB maybe there are too many bits
if it's so I need a manner to achieve it...

A$ = "&h101100111000101010011001100110" '30 BITS
C??? = VAL(a$)

PB freeze on "C??? = VAL(a$)" if i reduce the number of byte
it's ok but... How can I put a string of 30bits in a DWORD?

if you know please tell me )

Use the &B prefix for binary within the VAL expression.

a$ = VAL("&B1010101010101010")

Note that if the high-order bit is non-zero, PB will assume the value is signed. Prefix with a zero to force it to be unsigned.

a$ = VAL("&B01010101010101010")

I hope this helps!

PS: &H is for Hex, so 30 hex digits is actually 120 binary bits!
