Re: Numeric Field Length RAF

Of course, RAFs are not intended to be database files with all of their intended complications, but for a little bit I was encouraged with LBs "numeric" FIELD design.

A couple of points: You can always do the numeric to string conversion yourself and then write the string to the RAF, that way you have complete control over precision etc.
Since LB/LBB can read and write any kind of file you can exactly reproduce the functionality of GET and PUT, or devise your own custom database format, using regular file-handling statements and functions such as PRINT# and INPUT$ in conjunction with SEEK.Richard.
