Character Data Type

  • Article

To include letters, numbers, spaces, symbols, and punctuation, use the Character data type. Character fields or variables store text information, such as names, addresses, and numbers, that is not used in mathematical calculations. For example, phone numbers or zip codes, though they include mostly numbers, are actually best used as Character values.

For specifications about the Currency data type , see Visual FoxPro Data and Field Types.
