Brenda, Some of our more inventive users can get around this one easily by pressing Enter, typing 1.3, etc. I've found that this works: CASE SEL MATCHES '1N0N' AND SEL = 1 AND SEL = MAX.VAL This forces each character of SEL to be an integer (0-9) and nothing else. Regards, Charlie Noah

Hi, There is a utility - html2ps - that will convert html to postscript that is available for *NIX systems. Don't know if there is Windows version. In any event it would be possible to setup a remote printq to spool a file to a Linux system with this utility. It works really well. Regards

That's strange - null always appears to be char(0). And it acts like a number because you can use it in an expression that requires numeric. In fact, it's a good idea to add zero to a null field which will then change it to zero so it will compare correctly to other numbers. Many modern

Pick style databases have historically used the term null to mean an empty (zero length) character string. When SQL support was added, the developers of UniVerse (etc) were faced with a problem of terminology as SQL uses the term null to mean has no value. The distinction between Pick null and

Can you prove that? If you examine the opcode of a BASIC program the statement Print translates to 09FF 09 = Print and FF = end-of-string So Null in this case is nothing at all, no code whatsoever. Will In a message dated 2/13/2005 3:45:05 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
