type() problems

Hi all

Does anyone know of any issues with TYPE()

I had a situation today where if I typed the following into the command
pane:

nType=0
? type("nType")

I get N as expected

but if I put the exact same commands into a prg or wfm I would get

U as the output.

I quit and re-started dBase but the problem persisted, eventually it
came good and now works again in all areas !!!

Regards
Trevor

G'day Trevor,
From the OLH: TYPE( ) cannot "see" variables declared as local or static.

Check the scope of the variable, make sure it's, public or private, or a
property of an object like 'form.nType'.
See Ya,
Garry
