Data Type Problem Dialog Box
The Data Type Problem dialog box appears when the
user has entered a formula in the Data Sets
dialog box (p. 39) whose
result is the wrong type for the data set in question. For
user-created data sets, there are two ways of handling this.
- The type of the data set can be changed to match the type
returned by the formula. For example, if the type of the data set
is an integer, and the formula is "0.5", the type of the data set could
be changed to real.
- The formula could be adjusted to match the type of the
data. For example, if the type of the data set is an integer, and
the formula is "0.5", the formula could be changed to
"Round(0.5)". (In this case, "Round(0.5)" would then be converted
to "0" because Round(0.5) is a constant.)
The built-in data sets for GoPhast can not have their type changed
because the type must match the type of the corresponding data set in
PHAST. Thus, for these data sets, only the second option is
available.
