SYMPTOMS
Code using the function CSng within Visual Basic is automatically converted to a CDbl by the compiler.



CAUSE
If a string literal, such as 1.1, or a string variable is placed inside of the CSng function, Visual Basic converts the function to CDbl. The following code demonstrates the problem: Dim S As Single S=CSng("1.1") When you run a program containing this code, Visual Basic changes it to this code: Dim S As Single S=CDbl("1.1")



WORKAROUND
To work around the problem, use another function that operates on the string. Then place this result inside the CSng function. For example, use this: S=CSng(Val("100"))



STATUS
This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual Basic version 4.0 for Windows.
