Testing if a field is numeric

Postby smeneely » Tue Jun 05, 2012 1:46 am

Hello,

In the DFSort world is there a parameter on the sort control cards to test if a field is numeric?

Thank you

Yes you can. NUM: Specifies a test for numerics or non-numerics. Check this link for detailed explanation.
