/*  $DOC$
 *  $FUNCNAME$
 *     FT_XTOY()
 *  $CATEGORY$
 *     Conversion
 *  $ONELINER$
 *     Convert from any data type to any other data type
 *  $SYNTAX$
 *     FT_XTOY( <xValueToConvert>, <cTypeToConvertTo> ;
 *              [, <lWantYesNo> ] ) -> xResult
 *  $ARGUMENTS$
 *     <xValueToConvert> is the value to convert.
 *
 *     <cTypeToConvertTo> is the type of value to convert to
 *     ("C","D","L","N","A" or "B").
 *
 *     <lWantYesNo> is a logical to signal if 'Y' or 'N' is to be returned
 *     if Converting a logical, otherwise '.T.' or '.F.' will be returned
 *     for logicals.
 *  $RETURNS$
 *     The original value converted to the new type.
 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *     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"))
 *  $END$
