Can anyone tell me how atof handles blanks when converting? I am
converting a 10 character field to a floating point value. And I get an
error stating the resulting field is too small. The value being
converted is ' 12.2963   '. I guess I could just change the size of the
character field and test, but I would like to know how blanks are
handled by atof. 

Thanks

Griz
