DecodeDate raise an variant error

edited 6:19AM in FastScript
Hi !

I receive an "Invalid variant type conversion", when I call the "EncodeDate" method.

FastScript example:
var
aDate: TDateTime;
begin
aDate := EncodeDate(2004,10,01)

    Works well for me. What Delphi version do you use?

    Delphi 6

    Result from debugger:

    function TfsMethodHelper.GetValue: Variant;
    var
    v: Variant;
    i: Integer;
    s: String;
    Instance: TObject;
    begin
    if Assigned(FOnCall) then
    begin
    v := VarArrayCreate([0, Count - 1], varVariant);
    for i := 0 to Count - 1 do
    v := Params.Value; <<< Here

    VALUES:
    count = 2
    i = 1
    Params[0] = 2004
    Params[1] = 10
    Params[2] = 1

    It happens in the second loop (i=1)
    I tried it in the FastScript demo program, and I get the same error.

    I've some more information.

    This example works:
    decodeDate(date,y,m,d);
    da := encodeDate(y,m,d);

    - but this don't:
    d := 1;
    m := 1;
    da := encodeDate(y,m,d);

    I debugged the TfsMethodHelper.GetValue function, and notify that the parameter variant type is "varInteger" in the first example and is "varInt64" in the last example, for ???day???, ???month??? and ???year???.

    The error happens when the parameter variant type is varInt64

    Please help

    Delphi6 must be updated with update packs 1 and 2.

    My delphi is updated with sp 1+2
    I got the problem after I updated to FastScript 1,7

    I've 2 solutions:

    1)
    Go back to FastScript 1,6

    2)
    Modify the code in unit fs_iinterpreter
    if Assigned(FOnCall) then
    begin
    v := VarArrayCreate([0, Count - 1], varVariant);
    // Modified >>
    for i := 0 to Count - 1 do begin
    if varType(Params.Value) <> varInt64 then
    v := Params.Value
    else
    v := Integer(Params.Value);
    end;
    // << Modified

    What do you prefer?
