[Chicago-talk] detecting whether a scalar is number or a string.

[Richard Reina]

Andy,

Thanks so much for the response.  It's just a one time use, throw away script to validate data before it gets entered into a table.  I will try your "low tech" way and if it works for me I am going to run with it.

Thanks again!

Have an awesome week everybody!
