How to stop message 'numeric field contains invalid data'

Problem:

Net Express 4.0

How can you stop the run-time from checking if numeric data items have valid numeric data and stop the warning message "numeric field contains invalid data"

Resolution:

By default this checking is always ON, but you can override this by turning off the 'F run-time switch':

- At the Net Express command prompt - set cobsw=-F; or

- In the IDE, from the menu - 'Project' > 'Properties...'. Click on the 'Application...' in the Project Properties dialog and go to the 'Program Execution' tab. Under 'Error Handling', uncheck the checkbox for 'Validate numeric fields'.
