CINT problem

[spicysudhi]

Hi,

suddenly i am facing a new error in the perfectly working website.

It throws "Type Mismatch" error in the following statement.

lstext = ""
response.write cint(lstext)

It was working fine and now giving error. Why and how to resolve this? Most of the cases the lstext is assigned with some numbers. When it is blank, I get this error.

thanks

regards,
Sudhi

I don't know... has it not always been a type mismatch error? The simplest fix would be to test isnumeric().
[tt]
lstext = ""
if isnumeric(lstext) then
response.write cint(lstext) & "<br />"
else
response.write "non-numeric: " & lstext & "<br />"
end if
[/tt]
(note: if it's numeric, recall that it gives banker's round to lstext.)

Also if the application takes whitespaces semantically equivalent to 0, you could add this before starting the cint() business.
[tt] if trim(lstext)="" then lstext=0
[/tt]
