I'm beginning to work with libs and proc in PDOX40DOS.
I've modified the tomoney.sc from the Borland BBS to accomodate my libs - I 
changed nothing else.
I wrote a script, play.sc to access the lib.
The output is as expected, I can get a message on the screen stating in 
English terms the amount of the number in the amount field of my table.
I have yet been able to place this in a Alpha fiels 120 characters in size.
To generate the message I can use the following:
readlib "currency" hundsval, genval, tomoney
message"",tomoney([amount])
;or this works as well - its a return value in the tomoney proc
message" ",stramt,""
I've tried assigning the return value a value of x in the procedure, the 
procedure is private.
I've tried using retval - setting money(the alpha field in the two field 
table) to retval -  [money] = retval; that's a no no.
How can I place the english text in a alpha field?
What am I overlooking?
I'm constantly getting field assignment can not be made errors.
