Michael
     if u looked closely at the sample code i submitted yesterday, u would have
noticed
the following snippet of code:

     ORDDTL.getField("ODQTYO").toString());

Try adding the toString method (inherited from Object class I believe).
Also remove the (String) casting as this is not needed.
