Yes, exactly. I get the same message and that is specific to Mac. This
works under Linux alright.

Thanks Reiumar for the code, but there is so much data and I have
applied different format codes to different fields. This way I will
have to convert all the data in required form again and then apply the
format codes. Than again NaN problem will be there. The thing is, my
code with formats applied works perfectly under Linux but not under
Mac. Why is that ??
