Issue with converting string parameter to number

[PPetronas]

Hi All,

I a have a parameter field which is defined as String
({?OID}). When I try to assign it as follows:

{Command.Order_ID}=ToNumber ({?OID})

It pops up a message: "This array must be subscripted"

How do I convert the parameter field to number?

Thanks,
Petronas

Since it's a parameter, why not change the datatype from a string to a number?

It looks like you must be setting up the parameter outside of the command with "allow multiple values" set to true and using it in the record selection area, since command parameters do not accept multiple values. If you do this, the filtering will all happen locally. It is better to create the parameter within the command.

If you want to use multiple values within the command, there is an FAQ that provides a workaround: faq766-6779.
