Mod10 Formula
Mod10 Formula
(OP)
In a post I found (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1674167) I used the formula that was presented here and it seems to work except that I keep getting "A string is required here" error.
I'm getting the error on line 8 (counting blank lines) of the code where it says replace({ACCOUNT_CARD_DATA.CARD_NUMBER}," ","")
If I add totext and make it say replace(totext({ACCOUNT_CARD_DATA.CARD_NUMBER})," ","") it will save with no errors but when I try to put it in the report it gives me a "The string is non-numeric" error. When I click ok it shows me the error in the code is on line 18 (counting blank lines) where it says v_calc := tonumber(v_temp) * 2
I feel like I'm in a loop that can't be resolved...what am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

RE: Mod10 Formula
Amend the formula as follows to convert ({ACCOUNT_CARD_DATA.CARD_NUMBER} to a string, bi changing line 8 as follows:
CODE
v_cc := replace(ToText({ACCOUNT_CARD_DATA.CARD_NUMBER}, '#')," ","");Hope this helps.
