Currency value passed from PBDLL5 to VB6

[Dave Morgan]

When I call my test function in PBDLL5 that converts a string to a currency value, VB6 displays the number differently.

The sample PBDLL code quite correctly displays "Amt@ = 7484.5".
In VB, however, fnCVC produces the value "3435973.8368".

Is there an obvious reason why I don't get the correct number passed back?


PowerBasic Code:

FUNCTION fnCVC EXPORT AS CURRENCY
LOCAL Value$, Amt@

Amt@ = 7484.5
Value$ = MKCUR$(Amt@)

MSGBOX "Amt@ = " + format$(CVCUR(Value$))


FUNCTION = CVCUR(Value$)
END FUNCTION

If I am reading the help files correctly, then you should try this.
In VB currency is actually a Quad Integer that is biased by 10,000 when converted to a string.
In PB currency is a BCD number.

Although I don't have time to check this. Try changing your function in PB to CUR not CURRENCY which is the correct syntax for PB ...

FUNCTION fnCVC EXPORT AS CUR
