CH_VARTYPE( <cName> ) 


Parameters

<cName>
Variable name.


Returns

Code     Meaning
A        Array
C        Character
N        Numeric
D        Date
L        Logical
M        Memo
U        Undefined type*

*If the the name does not exist as a memory variable--for instance, if 
it is a DBF field rather than a memory variable-- then CH_VARTYPE() 
will return "U".


Description

CH_VARTYPE() functions similarly to the TYPE() function, but it does 
not invoke the macro processor. However, unlike TYPE(), which can 
evaluate expressions, CH_VARTYPE() can evaluate memory variables only.


Example

cDataType = CH_VARTYPE('item')
