464.0. "bind question - ordering a numeric field." by WAYOUT::ALLAMS () Fri Apr 10 1992 11:45

Hi,


	I have an application programming question:

	If I have an entry form, with the key field a numeric field ranging from,
	say, 1-15, and I wish to use an index form to view this data, how
	do I order the data on the entry form, so that the numbers run from 
	1-15?

	At the moment, I do a simple bind:

	BINDW *CALL TO *CALL_QUEUE:QUEUE

	This gives:

	1
	10
	11
	12
	13
	14
	15
	2
	3
	4
	5
	6
	7
	8
	9

	not,  

	1
	2
	3
	3
	etc.

	Is there any easy way to do what I want to do??

	Could you save the field on disk with leading zeros preserved, and then eliminate them in the UI when displaying them? FWIW Stuart

	Thanks Stuart, I think that may be just what I need, why didn't I think of that?! Steve
