Error message examples

In call to function ConvertToNum, a value passed to the first parameter, «X», could not be coerced to type numeric.

Cause

You have called a function by passing a parameter that cannot be coerced to the type the function is trying to coerce to.

If a function coerces passed values to a number, '1005' would be forced to 1005 while 'not a number' (NaN) would trigger this error.

Remedies

Study the parameters the function expects and correct the parameter passed to the function to a value that can be coerced to the expected type.
