TDBF - Issue with TTimestamp and TDateTime Get Function
« on: April 20, 2017, 11:35:10 am »
I use TDBF extensively in my Accounting project front end to firebird .

The assignment  to "result"  as below is not robust as it will reject a Tdatetime that has zero time element.
******************************************************************************************************************
 Result := (Unaligned(PInteger(Src)^) <> 0) and (Unaligned(PInteger(PChar(Src)+4)^) <> 0);
******************************************************************************************************************


SEE ALTERED SOURCE BELOW- THERE  IS A ROBUSTNESS ISSUE

as the function GetFieldDataFromDef requires  a time value other than zero to process correctly where FDateTimeHandling is set to dtDateTime  .

Regards - David Parnaby - Durban  :(
***************************************************************************************************************

Source DBF_DBFFile starts line  1697

function TDbfFile.GetFieldDataFromDef(AFieldDef: TDbfFieldDef; DataType: TFieldType;
  Src, Dst: Pointer; NativeFormat: boolean): Boolean;
    '@':
      begin
        {*********************in house amendments***********************}
        if FDateTimeHandling = dtBDETimeStamp then
          begin
            Result := (Unaligned(PInteger(Src)^) <> 0) and (Unaligned(PInteger(PChar(Src)+4)^) <> 0);
            if Result and (Dst <> nil) then
            begin
              SwapInt64BE(Src, Dst);
                date := BDETimeStampToDateTime(PDouble(Dst)^);
             SaveDateToDst;
             end;
        end else
        if FDateTimeHandling = dtDateTime then
        begin

          if  (Dst <> nil) then
          begin
            SwapInt64BE(Src, Dst);
             { zero date can cause exceptions }
             if Unaligned(PInteger(Src)^) =0 then
               date:=1 else
                 date := PDateTime(Dst)^;
           SaveDateToDst;
          end;

Hello dparnaby.

Can you please provide us the compilable source for us to try? You can write a demo project that shows the issue. Zip them (except the executable and lib folder) and send it to this forum. Please also provide the sample data.
