If you want to store a unique index letter for each record then just store the
letter in the database.
If the display always starts on A and is based on the current order, you can
just bind the repetition index to a variable:
ItemRep : WORepetition {
list = items;
item = repItem;
index = itemIndex;
}
and create a string from the index in the java file:
public String indexLetter () {
char c = (char)(65 + itemIndex);
return String.valueOf(c);
}
and bind that into your repetition in the component:
ItemIndex : WOString {
value = indexLetter;
}
