If session_nu is character, you should be able to use val(session_nu). But it is better to compare character values directly.

cSession=str(p_count,2) && if session_nu is C(2)
select * from (thisform.text1.value) where session_nu=cSession into table (file_name)

Also check whether session_nu is left justified or not. If the value for example is '4 ' in stead of ' 4', you must use

cSession=oadr(p_count,2) && if session_nu is C(2)
select * from (thisform.text1.value) where session_nu=cSession into table (file_name)

To check for the different values for session_nu, you can select all the values into an array

select distinct session_nu from (thisform.text1.value) into array aSession
for x=1 to alen(aSession)
  cCount=aSession(x)
  file_name="session_nu"+alltrim(cSession)
  select * from (thisform.text1.value) where session_nu=cCount into table (file_name)
endfor

>>Most likely session_nu is not numeric. And by the way, you can simplify the line file_name="session_nu"+alltrim(str(p_count)) to file_name="session_nu"+transform(p_count). And add a space between table and (file_name)
