Doug, The help is inaccurate. INT will also accept text. It would not make sense for NINT to accept different types from INT

It doesn't convert text which is what the GETPROPERTY returns. I think. Doug Doug Hamilton wrote: (NINT(arg)) Rounds a number that has a TEXT, REAL, DOUBLE, NUMERIC, or CURRENCY data type to the nearest integer, returning a value that has an INTEGER data type. In the following example, the value of vnint1 is 3 and the value of vnint2 is 4. SET VAR vnint1 = (NINT(2.6)) SET VAR vnint2 = (NINT(4.4)) Doug Jim Belisle wrote: What function do I use to change the text value of a GETPROPERTY command into Integer? Jim
