Hi stf_polska, To get a warning or error for that kind of construct, you need to use a language like Ada where that would be a warning/error. In C and C++, it isn't a warning because it is expected and standard practice. So for C and C++, the way to turn that into a RUNTIME warning is to write an IntToChar routine: int x = 469; char y = IntToChar(x); Where IntToChar can log or throw or terminate, depending on your preference. For C++, there is a Boost numeric_cast, which has this kind of capability. Boost library is located at www.boost.org and is free, and darn impressive. HTH, --Eljay
