Hi Bud,
You have already 2 good suggestions.
...but I can not stop me now:
Have you ever to search on BSFN by QBE field:
*onvert*
*tring*
*umeric*
...etc.
If you do/did that, you will be able to found the answer(s) yourself - before posting this on JDEList.
Please, this not an attact - just an advise.
Read you later & Reagards,
Zoltán
