Problems with Variant to Data in LabVIEW 8.5

[VipersView]

I am having some issues using the variant to data function. In case of NULL variants, the function returns the last known value. Any known fix for this issue. The Database Variant to Data function also exhibits a similar behavior.

Please advise.

One other bug in the Database toolkit is with the Get Column Properties.vi wherein the wires for the actual size and defined size need to be swapped.

What type of data is your variant and what type of data are you converting to? Do you have any simple examples that demonstrate this behavior? What version of LabVIEW is this?

This was reported to R&D (# 2YBA9P7N) for further investigation. Thanks for the feedback!
