| Hotline Question of the Month |

“I have a WEB/CGI retrieval that's sorting by "Customer Number". The problem
is that "Customer Number" is an alpha field in our Manufacturing Software,
and it's 8 positions long. However, we use 5 numbers as our identification
for customer numbers.
So, we have a 5 number system that's in an 8 position alpha field. So when I
try and search by "Customer Number", I have to put in 3 blank spaces before I
type the customer in, to fill the 8 positions.
If I just put the number in and click on "Contains", the report takes way
too long, but it works. Is there anything I can do to have it ignore the
blanks needed to make it 8 positions, so I don't have to use the contains
feature?
