Hello,
I want to convert Varchar ASCII column to Integer data type.
When I'm using NUM () function and my string column contains characters  
that cannot be interpreted as a numeric value
statement returns me an error.
Is it possible to convert chracters to numbers, while entries that cannot  
be interpreted as a numeric values will be null ??

Thanks Dusan
