OK, Ali, is this what your problem is?

create table SAMPLE ( CharField C(8), NumField N(8,2))

Chardata = "225.50" && Character data, but really a number

insert into SAMPLE values (Chardata, VAL(Chardata))

*------------------

For the CharField, we just enter it directly.

For the NumField, the VAL() function converts the characters to a number.
