Can I cast a String to a BOOLEAN in PB 7 ??

[PANTLORD]

Hi there,

Just wondering if I can cast a datastore string value to a boolean like below;

BOOLEAN(a_local_datastore.object.field_name[1])

It doesn't seem to want to let me do it. I am passing this value to a BOOLEAN type in a struct and know that the datastore will return NO or YES.

Any ideas on how I can acheive this if not by casting?

Many thanks
Niall

Hi,

Try something like:

boolean lb_Value
lb_Value = (String(a_local_datastore.object.field_name[1])="YES")
struct.boolean = lb_Value

Cheers
