%,; signifier problem with LabVIEW 8.5.1

[aleveque]

Good afternoon,

I wrote a software under LV 8.2 which uses format code to customize display with , or . decimal point. So I use the following format : %,;%.3f or %.;%.3f depending on user settings.

When I convert the software under LV 8.5, using those format produce errors. I cannot format my display any more. The problem remains also when a new VI is build under LV 8.5 (without converting).

I attached a test VI to this post to illustrate what I mean. The VI is written under LV8.2 and works well. Under LV8.5 you will have an errror.

Knows anybody a solution to that problem?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I post this problem in a wrong thread... Sorry.

This looks like a bug.

Using 8.5.1, the %,;%.3f works fine, but %.;%.3f generates an error.

(even if you enter the advanced format directly in the property box, %.;%.3f gives the red LED, indicating an invalid format.)

Hi,

In my german environment, both format does not works. I agree that it looks like a bug...

Are you using 8.5 or 8.5.1. Just curious if there could be a difference.

Anyway, I posted a link to this thread over in the bug thread, so hopefully we get a CAR#

I could also reproduce this error :

• decimal point = , --> OK with 8.2.1 and 8.5.1
• decimal point = . --> OK with 8.21 but KO with 8.5.1 !
