Table Method: SelectMatrixToNumber 

Purpose

Returns an Matrix object containing a two-dimensional view of one column of the table.

Syntax

The SelectMatrixToNumber method has the syntax:

SelectMatrixToNumber(RowVector, RowAssocIndex, ColumnVector,

ColumnAssocIndex, DataAssocIndex, Decimals)

Parameters

Description

SelectMatrixToNumber is like SelectToMatrix, except that it tries to convert the resulting values into integer and float numbers. If the original data is not numeric, this method produces meaningless data.

SelectMatrixToNumber is useful because the RFC Library tends to use TYPC and most RFC tables use the NUMC, writing out packed datatypes. On the front-end, however, integer and float values are more appropriate.

For more information about the selection process, see Using SelectTo* Methods.
