Yet another Catobase problem...

tcblcommish · 12-17-2004, 08:55 AM

I am using Catobase 6.0.0 and I am now getting an error when the team pages are all done and then it starts doing the schedule splits and then I get the error.

INVALID USE OF NULL

Anyone have any ideas?

Do all your teams have #'s for their minor league wins/losses? I believe that caused a problem with my league several months ago.

Unless you want back because of another problem, I'd recommend using the latest version...6.014 I think.

Invalid use of nulls has always been a problem with team splits processing for versions > 6.0. I had that problem in 6.14 and had to roll all the way back to 6.14 to get rid of the problem. This is the first I can recall hearing about this problem for version 6.0.

I have had this problem ever since I have deleted (uninstalled) ver 6.1.4 or whatever the latest is. I am now using a fresh install of the 6.0.0 version and I get the problem ever time now. I cannot use any league past a few seasons and I will get that problem.

Check the pitcher tables and make sure that you don't have any pitchers with 0 IP but have earned runs. I would just change the IP to 1/3 inning and the error will go away. You will need a copy of MS-Access to view the pitching table, though. The other way to fix this is to view the pitching CSV file for the season when the error occurs and check for a pitcher with 0 IP with earned runs assigned.

Another error could occur in the fielding records if the player has errors but no innings played at the position due to no outs being made.....

Ok I went through all the fielders and pitchers to cure them of their errors, however I am still getting an INVALID USE OF NULL in the error.

It crashes now when it gets to the divisional charts for the leagues.

Any more ideas?

Thanks to those that helped me out with the catobase but I have fixed the problem. It was in the league setup for the catobase... one of the team names was missing.... d-uh!!

I didn't even think of looking there at all. Thanks again to all that helped.
