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.

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

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
non-numeric error. Some more of those things that are almost the same between
UniData and UniVerse but not quite. No wonder they don't want to

In UniData the '.' and '-' will evaluate as numeric.
You might want to check how these would fall through
your logic in UniVerse.
Colin,
But they don't pass MATCHES '0N' test on UD, do they?
In UD (and UV) NUM('.1') is true, as is NUM(-1), but this program does
not test for NUM().
On UD,
Ezhno,
Thank-you for your help. Comments interspersed.

How about writing a mickey mouse program which goes through
the full ASCII char set and see which one passes the logic.
I've tried that several variations on the theme.
For example:
FOR I = 0 TO 255
IF ( 1:CHAR(I) MATCHES '0N') THEN
Right, but I wasn't sure how UniVerse would handle them.
A quick check with ANS = :@VM passed the test though. Any possibility of that
kind of problem?

The bottom line is that ANS MATCHES '0N' test
should never be true if
ANS contains anything other than the chars 0
through 9. Right?

There is another possibility. Your non-numeric error
could be on a different line of your code.
