(CTXT(arg))
Converts an internal value, returning a text string.
In the following example, the value of vctxt1 is the value 37.6 and is a REAL data type. The value of vctxt2 is the value 37.6 and is a TEXT data type. If you attempt to use vctxt2 in a mathematical function, it will fail.
SET VAR vctxt2 = (CTXT(.vctxt1))
