The text2num method only made it into the dUFLP in August 2021 but as long as you have the latest version of the dUFLP installed it should work with both dBASE 10 and dBASE 11. The error you are getting is because you haven't read the instructions. :-) text2num() is a method of a stringex object.  You need to create an instance of the stringex object first.  Once the instance exists you can execute it's methods. set procedure to :duflp:stringex.cc oStr = new stringex() //create the istance ?oStr.text2num('123,456.12','.')
