Data expression error and data conversion error

[Deskin, Bob]

Data conversion or expression errors usually point to a processing issue
rather than a data validation issue. Check your expression processing. Of
course you may also have data being used in a place where it shouldn't. This
sometimes happens when substructures or redefinitions include mixed numeric,
character, and date data and the item used doesn't have valid data in it.

Good mornings folks,

The latest problem I am encountering is where the error message Data
expression error or Data conversion error appears at the bottom of the
screen. All the data on the screen is alphanumeric so I do not think it is
an alpha in a numeric field and all the data displayed is correct. However
the appearance of the message is very disconcerting. Has anybody seen this
type of error message? Do you know what I need to do to prevent it?

our development environment is Axiant 4Gl version 2.03 for a VMS.
