Exception class EConvertError issue

[Minh Hoang 0]

The project information:

 - Delphi 10.4.3

 - Target: 32-bit release

 - Omni Thread version 3.07.9

 - Windows 11 Home 64-bit

 

When executing in debug mode (F9), the Omni thread raises the exception:

 

 

When breaking, it lands to OtlTaskControl:

 

It should be mentioned that the project executes normally (no exception)

in mode without debug (Ctrl+Shift+F9).

 

Thank you in advance for any idea.

Thank you David for your reply!

 

Yes I found the bug of reading then converting the string to DateTime in the code already.

The error 96/05/2022 10:20:30 is clearly not a valid date.

 

But this format also might lead to the consideration if you are using the appropriate TFormatSettings for the conversion itself.

Since "/ :" separators are used in US mainly, other countries might use different formats, for example in Germany the usual format is "dd.mm.yyyy hh:nn:ss".

 

I think in asian countries you also might have the ". :" separators , which may lead to similar errors when not taking care about them.

Suddenly a program running well in your country might crash in another country.
