Hi Everybody, I'm using the functions XMLToCursor() y CursorToXML() to generate a COM Component, but I found a little problem with them:

    CREATE CURSOR Foo (LeadingZero c(13))
    INSERT INTO  Foo VALUES('0090810490000')
    INSERT INTO Foo VALUES ('0010200520001')

    ?VARTYPE(foo.leadingzero)
    CursortoXML("Foo","lcXMLData")
    
    USE  IN "Foo"
   
    XMLtoCursor(lcXMLData,"NewFoo")
    ?VARTYPE(newfoo.leadingzero)

*** As u can see, the LeadingZero field now is a Numeric type.

I can use PADL() to get back the field as a string (keeping the leading zeros), but I think there shoud be another way to get what I want, wich is, no conversion in field types. My question is: What am I doing wrong?,
