Where is the source of the 'string' that you are referring to? If it's
a character string that someone enters, and you want to determine if
it's a date, number, etc., then the following may work:
m.lcString was entered by the user
m.lcType = "U"
on error *
do case
case not empty(ctod(m.lcString))
m.lcType = "D"
case isdigit(alltrim(m.lcString))
m.lcType = "N"
otherwise
m.lcType = "C"
endcase
If the string comes in as a parameter, then TYPE() will work (as
mentioned in the other response).
