Hi Ricardo,
ResidenceZipcodes is a new variable here, and is therefore
assumed to be numeric.
Unless it was your intention re-assign to ResidenceZipCode, you
need to declare the variable as a string:
STRING ResidenceZipcodes (A5).

Using a Substr string function on a string variable (see
the screen shots below) I get an error message saying:
"the _expression_ has string type, but a numeric value is
required here."
Did I do something wrong or is this a bug? |
