Yes... this is a common issue having to do with exponential notation.

For us here it is easy we have 3-digit Stock Bin Locations such as "3E4"
and "4F5".  Thus, we have to inspect the second digit to be a numeric.

The case there may be somewhat more involved.  A little string
processing may be needed...

I just had a buddy call me to have me test something on my system that
he got bitten with.  Anyone else ever been bitten by this?

TEXT = '2E-29'    ;* Expected to be TEXT
IF NUMERIC(TEXT) THEN
    PRINT 'IS NUMERIC'
END ELSE
    PRINT 'NOT NUMERIC'
END
