Re: [amibroker] About "Out of present range" OLE error

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

A little bit more background:

Here is Microsoft link describing the innner workings.
When you pass arguments to OLE function, Windows is often converting
types using VariantChangeType function

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms221258.aspx

The funciton can fail with number of errors and one of them is
DISP_E_OVERFLOW (0x8002000A) that shows up as "Out of present range"

As per Microsoft docs it means that the result of the conversion does
not fit in the destination type.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
