Looking at the screen capture why is this file in the path you have it
in? Is it the current version from the dUFLP? You should be using the
dUFLP code FROM the dUFLP folder.

Try closing dBASE, then restarting it (clear everything out of memory
that way).

Then:

set procedure to :dUFLP:StringEx.cc // no need to use 'additive'
? Text2Num( ...)
