Using AcuCorp 5.20

Can someone suggest an AcuODBC function (or functions) to use in place
of the MS SQL ISNUMERIC() function?

I need to make sure there are no non-numerics in a field before
performing some math.

Thanks!

Check out the Numeric directive when setting up your FD. Chapter 6.3.8
NUMERIC Directive in AcuODBC manual

The NUMERIC directive allows you to treat a data item as an unsigned
integer when it is declared as alphanumeric. You might use this when
the data stored in the item is always numeric.

Try the Numeric directive - Help manual 6.3.8 NUMERIC Directive
The NUMERIC directive allows you to treat a data item as an unsigned
integer when it is declared as alphanumeric. You might use this when
the data stored in the item is always numeric.
