Hello all

I am clogged, 
have a field called TARIF numerical type and to updated the record, 
METHOD NewFormTar:writeData() 
   FIELD -> TARIF: =:: TARIF:XbpSle:getData() 
   
   he says invalid data type for database field
   ,am sure that my XbpSle is a numerical type

Thank you
Ribo

XbpSLE:GetData() always returns a character string -- the contents of the
XbpSLE's Edit Buffer -- which is documented!

You could sub-class the XbpSLE and create your own class that returns a
numeric value -- or use an existing replacement, like XbpGet or SLEPic,
or any of the other available 3rd-party products -- or you could simply 
use the following:

Field->Tarif := val(::Tarif:XbpSLE:GetData())

My SLEPic class manages the get/set so that the type is preserved. ie if
you set it with a numeric value the get will return a numeric. Note the
editbuffer() method still returns value as a string. The SLEPic class is
a drop in replacement for XbpSLE class.
