I load a value into a variable from a text file
set var x varchar = null set var x = ['Test.dat'] sho var x 17.62 I now need to work with this value. However, I cannot find any conversion functions that seem to work with varchar datatype. FLOAT states that it does not work with varchar CTXT gives the following set var Y text = null set var Y = (CTXT(.x)) sho var Y * How can I convert the varchar variable type to something I can work with? Thanks, -Bob
