Hi,
 Am running into trouble doing some basic calculations.  I think I have
tracked down the problem to something to do with trying to perform a cos or
sin  calculation on a 'double' datatype

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'

Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Sin'

/pitchperfect/login/licenses/algorithm.asp, line 29

The number the sin/cos is being performed on  is

54354354354E+15

Is there an issue with using doubles in sin/cos
If anyone knows of any tutorials, information on this type of thing I would
greatly appreciate it.

TIA

Euan

Hi Euan,

Can you post your code so we can see exactly what's going on?  It looks like
it might be more syntactical than anything.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I have whittled it down to not being able to use an 
integer greater than 2147483647

comp1 = 2147483647
comp1 = Cos(comp1) 
Response.Write(comp1)

is fine,

but 

comp1 = 2147483648
comp1 = Cos(comp1) 
Response.Write(comp1)

produces the error message

If i change the comp1 value to a lng value it works, but from 
documentation I have read at MSDN, the highest value the lng datatype can 
take is 2147483647,  but how do I store an integer value greater than that?

I can do it using a dbl (floating point datatype) but when I do that I 
can't use it in the Sin/Cos function.

I realise this may be a problem with the server set up, but am at a loss 
at the moment as to how to get around it.  From what I know at the moment 
I can't get a cos/sin of a value greater than 2147483647.

If you try Cos(2147483647) it works, but anything larger than that like
Cos(99999999999999) won't

Thanks for any help, greatly appreciated.
