Could your ANS variable have contained Char(255) ?
A string containing Char(255) won't passes the (ANS MATCHES '0N') test.
If anyone can show me a string containing characters other than the 10
digits that passes that test, I'd be much obliged.

Charles,
This is a little crude, but it might work.
Try to convert the input to a time.
If the oconv is successfull no problem, it must be a number.
If it fails because they have entered something dodgy, send the value of
what they entered to yourself in an email.

Sadly not as far as I can tell.
The prompt is a message in a central file. You can't update it without all
accounts and users seeing the same change.
I haven't looked hard at doing this since 4.1 though. It is possible that a
feature has been snuck in quietly since then, but nothing I'm aware
A very long numeric string will do this, see sample code below:
0001: ARRAY = '12345' ;* Just so array has a value
0002: VAR = STR('1',512)
0003: IF VAR MATCHES 0N THEN PRINT 'Numeric'
0004: DUM = ARRAYVAR
0005: END
RUN BP T2
Numeric
Program T2: Line 4, Nonnumeric data when numeric required.
Don't bet on it! :^)
IMHO unicode characters for indian,chinese or arabic digits
should pass the test but I haven't tried.

I found
ANS = '':@VM
will pass. I didn't try any combinations/derivatives. I also saw another post
where a very long number passed the test but failed in the array assignment.

BINGO! This is exactly it! Thank-you Piers, and everyone else for
your thoughtful responses along the way.
I am sure this is it.
We've had other instances where users camp on a key. Typically:
INPUT ANS
READ ... FROM F, ANS ELSE...
where this generates an error in trying to read an ID
You may be right. I've no experience with unicode stuff, working
strictly in English.
I'm happy believing Piers Angliss's too-long-string theory.
Thanks for the input,

Colin,
I found the opposite. You're on UD, right? I'm on UV.
UV has a !MATCHES subroutine to handle the case where ANS is a dynamic
array.
There is some UV/UD difference in the multivalue handling. This may be
one of those differences.

Because num() will OK 1.1, -22 etc that you wouldn't want to use in an array

Yes, I'm on UniData (testing on 5.1.27). We don't have the !matches version.
However, I did test some very large values in the array and didn't get the

Hi John,
Absolutely, there are loads of ways for the check to have been made, but
it's more fun to get to the bottom of the problem, what's life without a
little challenge here and there. Plus we all learnt something for next time.

I guess it depends on what you're trying to do. The decimal point breaks
the 0N (unless you do 0N.0N). :-)
However, I thought the original poster was trying to prevent a non-numeric
warning. A NUM() would catch that, an INT() to lop off the decimal, and a
check against a DCOUNT() for sanity
