Noticed that the only allowable conversion from a DBF_STRING source is to another DBF_STRING. Was there any particular reason why 'sscanf'-like functionality was not included? This an issue which comes up when we flow down from a string based command layer into the database. Anyone else encounter this? I suppose a simple subroutine record could do the conversion...
