When you wire unsigned integers into a case statement, they should accept all values up to the maximum according to the data type: 2^8 for U8, 2^16 for U16, 2^32 for U32, and 2^64 for U64. However, for some reason the case statement doesn't accept all the values for a U32. It only accepts values up to 2^31. Am I missing something fundamental here? What happens when I fill my case statement with 2 billion cases but still need more? (Actually I have a device driver that returns 2^32 when an error occurs. I work around the error by casting it to a U64 before doing the comparison, but I thought it was odd that it didn't work with a U32.)Message Edited by Daklu on 11-09-2007 03:20 PM

Error in case statement when using a U32?

Hi Daklu,

This was reported to R&D (# 43TCNGW9) and was fixed in LabVIEW 8.5. Here is a link to the current evaluation software download for LabVIEW. It does appear that changing the radix of the Case Structure will behave as expected. Thanks!
