[RBASE-L] - Re: TEXT TO INTEGER

[Albert Berry]

The assumption I made was that the GETPROPERTY target component was in 
fact an integer field. The GETPROPERTY returns a text value no matter 
what the type of the data element. So using GETPROPERTY on a customer 
number returns a text value and INT() converts that value back to INTEGER.

It doesn't convert text which is what the GETPROPERTY returns.
I think.
