invalid argument to data encode
Hello Jordi,

I am a new user of Swisslog and I am still learning how to use te program.
It looks great, but there is one problem.

At start up, the message - invalid argument to date encode -  is popping up.

I am using Windows 10 and the 5.101a version of Swisslog.

How much I fix the problem?

Tnx for your answer in advance.

Hello Koen,

This is solved in latest beta. Please read carefully this thread:

https://www.swisslogforwindows.com/forum...php?fid=27

Read the Beta versions info first and all the cumulative changes. I will release version 5.102 shortly but meantime install latest beta (you only have to replace the EXE file).

Hello Jordi,

I replaced the .EXE file with the Beta version. But the problem still exist.

Hello Koen,

I forgot to tell you that you have to manually edit the configuration file and replace a line. Please read this thread:

https://www.swisslogforwindows.com/forum...hp?tid=861

All should work well after performing this.

Hello Jordi,

The Date and time notation is Netherlands and is as follows:

d-M-jjjj

UU:mmConfuseds

I hope this is sufficient

Again time notation because there was an smily, I don't no why.

UU:mm: ss

the extra space prevents that.

Hello,

You need to edit the SwisslV5.ini file and replace the slash (/) by hyphen (-) in the date:

LastCtryDB=30/04/2021
LastStatDB=23/05/2021

by

LastCtryDB=30-04-2021
LastStatDB=23-05-2021

If you still in trouble I should check what happens remotely but it should work. There are PA users there using Swisslog with no issues. Contact me via whatsapp to arrange a Teamviewer session. My phone is in the web site.

Hi Jordi,

Sorry, but the change in Swiss|V5.ini did not work.
I installed SwissLog on my laptop computer with runs with windows7
Of course I changed the .EXE file with te Beta version and edit the .ini file.
But it has the same problem as on my desktop
I am not familiar with TeamViewer.

RE: invalid argument to data encode
Hello Jordi,

I found the solution to the problem.
I changed the system time notation to dd/mm/yy
And changed the .ini file accordingly.

Thank you very much for your help and for the fb program.

Correction to my latest reply

System time notation must be System date notation.

Sorry for the mistake
