     ("C","D","L","N","A" or "B").

     if Converting a logical, otherwise '.T.' or '.F.' will be returned

 Description

     This function converts a value of character, date, numeric, logical,
     array or code block type to any of the other type.  While it is
     guaranteed to return a value of the correct type, that value may not
     be meaningful (i.e., converting from a code block returns an EMPTY()
     value of the desired type).

 Examples

     nNumericValue := FT_XTOY(cInputValue, "N")
     IF (FT_XTOY(nInputValue, "L"))
