Try this

? Type_IsNumeric(m.myVar)

? Type_IsChar(m.myVar)


#define T_NUMERIC_LIST	T_NUMERIC, T_DOUBLE, 'I', T_CURRENCY
*_______________________________________________________________________________

function Type_IsNumeric(n)
	
	return 		inlist(vartype(m.n), T_NUMERIC_LIST)

endfunc
*_______________________________________________________________________________

function Type_IsChar(s)

	return 	inlist(vartype(m.s), T_CHARACTER, T_MEMO, 'V', 'Q', 'W') 

endfunc
