substr() or Val() a memo?

Post by Allen_(Guest) » Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:28 am

Hi,__One of our programmers is storing all extracted numeric data to a memo field (eg. 11.23 ...) I need to be able to extract that to something I can substr out and convert to numeric., etc. However everything I have tried so far gives me a invalid argument. Is there a way to typecast the memo field to string or character?__I thought at one time, the string functions worked on memo fields?__Can it be done?____Thanks__Allen__

They are only available in the SQL version, not in Xbase.____Kathleen__R&R Support
