Karl,

TRANS I descriptors are dangerous to index.

This should work fine when field 5 of BOHDR exists when the record you're going from 
is written and field 5 of BOHDR does not change. 

I don't know whether the I descriptor will be reviewed/renewed when the record you're 
going from is rewritten, but I'd want absolute confirmation that the indexing process 
does that.   I'd be very nervous (assume) that the I descriptor is NOT looked at again 
at a rewrite. 

The index will certainly be incorrect, however, when the field 5 of BOHDR is changed 
after the record you're going from was last written because there is no reason for the 
index to be updated.  Triggers might be used to update the index in such an event but 
I'd look for help elsewhere on this list for such guidance.

I just had an experience (UV 10.0.14, AIX 4.3.3) of indexing an
I-Descripted DICT item and than having a very important routine fall
down.

Selecting against the TYPE I-Desc fails after being indexed and doesn't
before.

I seem to remember a bug in this but hoped the bug had been solved...

Here's the I-Desc:
0001 I
0002 TRANS(BOHDR,(ORDER.NUMBER),'5','X')
0003
0004 ORD?TYP
0005 2R
0006 S
<0007... DELETED>

Another thought: Is there a problem right justifying? Should it be left
(counter-intuitive from my perspective)?
