ISNUMERIC

Determines whether its argument is a numeric string.

Syntax

Result = ISNUMERIC(Variable [/FLOAT])

Return Value

Returns a byte value set to 1 if the variable is made up of the digits '0123456789-' and possibly '.eE', otherwise 0.
The '.eE' characters are only allowed if the /FLOAT keyword is set. NB returns 0 if the string contains a blank.

Arguments

Variable

The name of the variable to be tested.

Keywords

FLOAT

Set this keyword if the test is to treat '.', 'e' and 'E' as valid numeric characters (i.e., if the test is to return true for strings representing floating point numbers).
