Dick,
Thanks for the warning - I hadn't considered that changing the
justification could have a negative effect. These ARE existing items, but
they are both numeric fields (or meant to be) only and the values are not
used in reporting anywhere, so I think I should be good. Is that what you
Joyce,
Word of caution... You should be aware that changing the existing
dictionary itemss could have an effect on the way other parts of your
application work if they are using those same items. If you created new
ones then you shouldn't have any problems.

they are treated numerically! Yay! Thanks, all! You're lifesavers!

Check the justification in those Dictionary items. They should both be

Are all these dictionaries R-just?

I have a jBASE program that does record selection using a query such as
this: SELECT X WITH BALANCE LT QUANTITY
BALANCE and QUANTITY are data dictionary-defined fields for fields 1 & 2.
My issue is this - the query is doing string math instead of number math.
For instance, 2 LT 9 evaluates as
