not number, so I have to trick the string to become number by adding and su=

Convert a string to numberHi.
I want to set a value such as 1.5 or 10 to a text box in a report
datawindow at the run time. The value will come from the user before
he/she runs the report. How do I convert this string in the text box to
a number that will be used for further computation at the summary band?
I tried number() function, but it requires a real string and refuses to
accept a variable or a column name. Thanks in advance for any help.

If the value comes from the user, it would be in the form of a Retrieve
Argument. You can refer to the retrieve argument in the computed field for...
convert string to number?
Hi,
I have a problem where a number read from a file is being treated as a
string by perl (I think!). I am using the module RSPerl which is an
interface between Perl and the statistical language R. When i read a
column of numbers from a file and pass it to the perl/R function i get
an "invalid 'type' (character) of argument" error.
The reason i think this is a problem on the Perl side is shown by this
pseudocode:
while(<FILE>){
... stuff to extract $value from each row ...
push(@list1, $value);
}
@list2 = (100.2, 232.333, 344.2); # these ...

How do I convert a string value to number in the DataWindow script?
I can convert number to string using String(ll_value), but how do I do the
reverse?
The help file says I should be able to use Number(ls_value), but the error
checker tells me that is an unknown function.
Thanks for your help.

Converting a string to a number
Hello everyone, first post and all that, i got a bit of a problem.
First off, the DB information:
id: autonumber
score: text
Both these feilds in the database are numerical, however, the score is used as a text feild, the id an autonumber.
When i use a querystring to pass the score over to another page, so that the page produces only information with that perticular score matching, it works.
When i try to use the ID number, i get a case miss match.
I can only fathom that this is because its an autonumber. However, i need to keep the DB design as it is, as when i add a ne...
Convertion numbers to stringsHello!
I have some numbers in data type "Numeric". The task is to write expression
wich combines prefix, number and suffix. The number must have no spare
zero's on tale. Linke in example:
"NDS 20%"
"SN 1.5%"
"ANT 0.25%"
The slyboot server makes all the numbers with the same length of fract.
part. like "20.00000" and I couldn't cope with this for two weeks already.
I don't know of a way to do that in SQL Anywhere.

Convert a String to a Number
How can i convert a character to a number, so that the result is only numerical digits, and would always be the same, besides 26 (plus non-alpha characters) if-then statements.
like, A = 1 and A always equals 1
so if I had the string: 1234A
after converting, I would get the result: 12341
A doesn't necessarily have to = 1, or even a single digit. It just has to equal a numerical... number.
perhaps you can do something like this.
Store your letters in an array A and maintain a cooresponding array B that has the numeric equivalent you would want to repla...
automatic convert for float number
Hi, I'm using the string format {0:N} to display the value of a field. THe field has the datatype float and it is on a postgreqsql server. I use the databinding for it.Because of the different between SQL languages and windows cultural properties, we have to each time format the value to the right one, so the sql server can execute it.In postgresql, I have to write 1.5 not 1,5 for example.In German, we use 1,5 as the standard input format in windows.How can I automatically convert 1,5 to 1.5 without using Updating event ? Are there any property for that ?Thanks

how to convert a number to string in SQL?
I search the help for T-sql, still don't know how to convert a number, for example 12345 to a string with formating like 12,345
Thanks for your help.
The best place to do such formatting is in the front end, not at the database level.That being said, you could use a combination of the CONVERT and CAST functions (see CAST and CONVERT) to cast the number as a money type, then convert it to a varchar, and then strip off the decimal point and 2 0's at the end:DECLARE @test intSELECT @test = 12345SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar(50), CAST(@test AS money), 1),'.00','')Or, you could make use of a ...

Depending on the scale or type of number, you can use Dec ( ), Long ( ),
Double ( ), Real ( ), or Integer ( ). All of them call for a string or blob
argument.
