This appears consistent with line 634 in dbStaticRun.c, where the first non numeric character must be '\0'.  However, according to page 105 of the 3-14-11 application developers guide, the breakpoint table name can consist of any alpha-numeric characters.  So, there seems a problem here. ?  For now, I am renaming my breakpoint tables.

Mark,

line 634 of dbStaticRun.c is code that gets executed when you try to set 
a (numerical) field of type DBF_MENU or DBF_DEVICE using a string value. 
Converting a string to a number does require the string to consist of 
only numeric characters, so I think that code is correct.

Which field of your record are you trying to write the breakpoint table 
name to?
