In pdox 7 (16 bit) we've got this strange message "Overflow. The source data
is numerically too large (positive or negative) to store in the
destination". We have only very small values in numeric fields and the files
structures have no problems at all. Only a little scan loop getting values
from a source file and putting them in another one... (running for months
without any problems)
Any suggestions?

Are you using a small int field and trying to put a value outside the
approximately + or - 32,000 range which small ints can handle?

No. We're using only Number fields.

When you say "the files structures have no problems at all," does that mean
you ran a table repair or something comparable? If not, you want to start
there, we have had similar problems with number fields. In fact, we had to
export the table to text, clean up the bogus values, and reimport.
Hopefully, this is not your case, but you may want to examine the contents
of those number fields more. As a test, create a new table from scratch,
don't use anything from the old, and run your routine on the new table.

Just my format("E" + chr(36) + "L1,W.2", (number(chr(45) + chr(50)) / 100))
