Hi Tracy,

The case of "2E828" shows the difference in the design of the error handling in VAL() and CAST() functions. The CAST() never generates an error if it cannot interpret source value but instead it returns some defualt, like 0 for numeric or empty value for strings, dates, datetimes, etc.
I consider it a bug that CAST('0x2F' as int) returns 0 because '0x2F' is valid string representation of VFP hexadecimal literal.
