type mismatch in argument 2 of `NumToString'

7 Oct 2006

      Thx a lot for your long explanation of Strings.

Here is another one that has me baffled.

My code in a procedure:

procedure doHeader (pageNum, numPages : Integer);

var
pageNumStr, numPagesStr : Str255;

the call:
NumToString(pageNum,pageNumStr);

I get compile error:
error: type mismatch in argument 2 of `NumToString'

In NumberFormatting.p
procedure NumToString(theNum: SInt32; var theString: Str255); external name '_NumToString';

What do I need to do in this case?

Thx
Ken
