NTOF Function

[amrmnabil]

Does any one know NTOF function and what does it do?

 

[Scott24x7]

Where do you see it? Can you give us a line of code?
NTOF is not a native VFP function, so it may be a custom procedure somewhere. If we could see how it's used, it would be more helpful.

This just reminded me of MTON() and NTOM(), conversion from currency to numeric and vice versa.
But no, I don't know NTOF(), it's not native, but it may be a user-defined function in your code.

Set a breakpoint, execute and then step into it and you'll find the definition. It's likely a function doing an unnecessary conversion from numeric to float. While VFP DBFs differentiate between currency, integer, numeric and float and store these numbers differently within the DBF file, in memory variables VFP only uses double floats.
