Hi,

I am reading in many line of mixed characters and numbers.

AA,01,02,003,andefg
BB,02,03,006,edjkflg
......
FF,01,02,abc,eirjfdkf
......

I need information from the 4th field, which can be either number or
character. After I parsed the long records, I singled out this field.
Is there a way I can tell whether it is numbers or it is characters?
'fix' command can convert the numbers, it will give an error message
then continue to the execution.

Thanks,
