Try this instead:
cData = cData.Trim.Left(10)
Report What happens
If cData still breaks, look at its binary representation (gremlins?)
It could be something to do with this ?
See the Encoding. It seems that it is encoded as US-ASCII ?
Here is the binary version of it
Easy to test now.
Same error with the Left(10) and i still don’t get it why it sees the Type as 9 and not 8
XOJO 2023R1.1
MacOS Ventura 13.4.1(c)
Server
Debian 11
MariaDB 10.11.4 - updated to the latest 10 stable
Stated on the first post
On Windows, this works:
Var d As Datetime
Var s As String = "1992-03-29"
s = s.DefineEncoding(Encodings.ASCII)
d = DateTime.FromString(s)
break
As said the weird part is that i Deleted that date from the database and add it manually again, so it should not happen but still it did the same thing .
Run this sample. Does it crash?
Do something change if:
Var d As Datetime
Var s As String = "1992-03-29"
s = s.DefineEncoding(Encodings.ASCII)
d = DateTime.FromString(s , Locale.Raw)
break
By the way, that’s a Xojo bug. If some people can’t reproduce it, it may be related to your locale.
28 works
So the issue is 1992-03-29 for some reasons
I told you is your Time Zone and Daylight saving time. You need to change the hour to 01:00:00 for example.
Have you tried the suggestion?
but WHY ? i mean it’s not like it’s February and in that year there is no 29 for god sake and again, original data does not have 00:00:00, and i delete it after so it should not even be there
Xojo Bug
Great, i’ll file a bug report , thanks again for all the help
But please, Check if those workarounds can work at your side:
First try:
d = DateTime.FromString(s , Locale.Raw)
Second:
d = DateTime.FromString(s , Locale.Raw, New TimeZone(0))
Using my crashing sample, but changing that line.
Same error “Parse error: date needs to be in the format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM or YYYY-MM-DD”
