Hi All,
While performing agg on key col,
I would like to take few columns to next stage

In that few cols,I have varchar col,
SO I tried to make max or min of that varchar col and populate further
I am getting a warning saying trying to convert string to decimal...............

My intention is to take varchar column without any warning,
In DS 8 we have option I guess,
Mine is DS 7.5X2 server edition

thanks,
suresh

Look for an option called Preserve Type. It exists in version 7.5.2; not sure about earlier versions. (7.5.2 is not the same as 7.5x2 but check anyway.)
