Dialog Programming : FLTP type Not allowed

Former Member — Fri, 23 Sep 2005 07:05:02 GMT

Hi,

I am creating some text fields with reference to fields having type FLTP.

I have declared the fields along with others in a work area. When I try to use get from program with reference to this work area the fields except with FLTP TYPE can be selected.

How do we create a text field with type FLTP ?

Thanks

Nitin

FLTP are floating point i.e. numeric.

In text fields you can only refer to character types

( CHAR or NUMC or ... )

Cheers.

on the screen u are not allowed to have fields with type FLTP....this is because of possible conversion problems...

however u can use DEC....another way is to use a char type field on the screen and in your underlying program u can use a field of type f to perform whatever calculations u want to...

rgds,
