Hi, Hilmar!

Perhaps I should even test float.

Don't do that - that's a backward compatible data type only.

BTW: I tried to define such an field during tests related to your question - the float field never saved at the end of MODI STRU (without any error messages).

IMO the best way is to deal with numeric data type and use a 2 step import using the replace command or related features!
