CFLT(1)

 

PURPOSE

This function will return the given field as an N type (floating point) field.

 

PARTS

 

 

RETURN TYPE - N

The original field is not changed.

 

COMMENTS

An F type field cannot be converted to N ; however, all others can (including A type fields).  If an L type field is converted, a .T. value will be converted to 1.00, a .F. to 0.00.

 

NOTE:  The number of decimal characters of the result depends on your receiving field.  However, in all cases, other than converting an A type field such as '100.33' to N using this function, the decimal value will always be 0.
