Why should you convert it?
A Code and a text variable are almost treated the same in Navision.
The only difference is that a code field is always in uppercase.

You can 'convert' a text to code and vica versa without a Navision function

So:

TextVariable := CodeVariable

Or:

CodeVariable := TextVariable


Or in your case something like this:

SHELL(STRSUBSTNO('%1',ae."Cross-Reference No."));

Out of my office for two days... :-)

You are using FORMAT coprrectly... there must be error somewhere else...

text := FORMAT(code); is correct....

PLease, send part o the code or more info...
