Number comparison error

[PW]

I'm trying to interrogate an incoming value from a previous ASP like this
....

myCurrentQty = request.querystring("txtBCQty" & myRecordCounter)

It returns a "2" as expected.

But if I try to compare its value to another number, like this ...

if myCurrentQty > 0 then

.... I get this error ...

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'myCurrentQty'
rep_barcode2.asp, line 57

If I try to convert it to a number, like this ...

if Cint(myCurrentQty) > 0 then

I get another error ...

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'Cint'
rep_barcode2.asp, line 57

Not quite sure where I'm going wrong here.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
PW

Hmmm - show us the result of:

response.write "myCurrentQty contains """ & myCurrentQty & """"

I'll go one further and show you the variable type as well ...

myCurrentQty = request.querystring("txtBCQty" & myRecordCounter)
response.write "myCurrentQty contains """ & myCurrentQty & """"
if isnumeric("myCurrentQty") then
response.write "number"
else
response.write "char"
end if
response.end
Results are ...

myCurrentQty contains "2"
char

[dlbjr]

myCurrentQty = Trim(myCurrentQty )
If IsNumeric(myCurrentQty ) Then
If CInt(myCurrentQty ) > 0 Then

End If
End If

-dlbjr

Discerning resolutions for the alms

I don't think that will help. I know that myCurrentQty contains a number,
the problem is that its a variable type of char and won't convert to a
variable type of number.

myCurrentQty = Int(Trim(Request.QueryString("txtBCQty"))) &
Int(myRecordCounter)
Response.Write("myCurrentQty contains " & myCurrentQty & " and is data type
" & typename(myCurrentQty) & ".")
if myCurrentQty > 0 Then
' do something
else
' do nothing
Response.End
end if

Now this is wierd !! I ran my code, and I got the error. I ran Rolands
code, and no error. WHAT! Do it again. Run my code, get an error. Run
Rolands code, no error! HUH!?!?

I then realised that the error was not occurring on the first iteration of
the loop, but on the 3rd, in which that label had not been given a quantity
of labels to print, hence the variable was empty, and the error occurs. I
fixed it by adding this little code snippet ...

if myCurrentQty = "" then
myCurrentQty = 0
end if
Thanks for your help guys,

So, persistance actually does pay off.
