What is the best way to determine the type of data that was entered?
Is there a funtion that returns the data type?
Did you know that you can use the R:BASE String Manipulation Functions
such as "ISALPHA" and "ISDIGIT" to achieve your goal?
(ISALPHA(value))
Checks the first character of a TEXT string. The function returns a 1
if true and a 0 if false.
For example, (ISALPHA('abc')) returns 1 because the first character is
a letter.
(ISDIGIT(value))
Checks the first character of a TEXT string. The function returns a 1
if true and a 0 if false. For example, (ISDIGIT('abc')) returns 0
because the first character is not a number.
Have fun implementing these functions to achieve your goal, because
you CAN!
Very Best R:egards,
