Hi,
I am working with different Latin American countries and they send me every month different .dbf files with data. Some of these countries use BRO Plus as .dbf editor. I have one field called quantity and it's binary! I tried with the CtoBin() function in fox, but it didn't work. If I use the BRO's command BIN2L works! If I do the following example in fox works also:
aa=25
bb=BinToC(aa)
?CtoBin(bb) &&Returns 25.

In this example the convertions works perfectly!

I think that I have the problem with the bits. I think they convert data with 16bits and fox 8.0 uses 32bits.
Anyway, does anybody know how can I convert this binary field into an integer. (consider that this binary data was generated with a program called BRO and the command used was L2BIN()

Thanks!
