Thank you. So obvious in retrospect. :)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In Delphi 7, I used to be able to do following:<br />
<br />
Type <br />
&nbsp; TA4: array[1..4] of char;<br />
<br />
var<br />
&nbsp; a4: TA4;<br />
&nbsp; n1: Integer;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; a4[1] := #1;<br />
&nbsp; a4[2] := #2;<br />
&nbsp; a4[3] := #1;<br />
&nbsp; a4[4] := #2;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; n1 := Integer(a4);<br />
<br />
Now - with XE8 - it no longer works and it produces a message &quot;E2089 Invalid Typecast&quot;<br />
<br />
Is there another way of doing it? The data is now coming from Bytes1: TBytes<br />
<br />
Thank you.
