Title:
Determining a Fields datatype
I am writing an HTML output class and want to
right justify all numeric (N, I, Y) fields.
My original thought was to create an array that
would contain the data type of the first record
using EVAL(FIELD(x)). However, I ran into a
problem when one of the numeric fields was .NULL..
As a result of the NULL value, the non-null fields
are left aligned. I wanted to use the array to
evaluate the field type only once - no need to
do it every time.
Is there a way to determine a fields data type
so that .NULL. values will show the true field
data type? I guess I can use something like
AFIELDS() unless there is a better way.
Ideas?
