Re: changing default justification

Sure:

First, you have to use a weird TCL command option to allow editing the D
pointer:

:ED DICT [filename] [filename] (D

Not weird really the D helps to stop bloopers with important items. You can
always use UP if you are a real masochist.

Once in there, just make sure you ONLY change attribute 9 from L to R and
FIle the item. From this point forward, your item-ids will display (and
sort, and be used against selection criteria) right justified.

You should probably change Attribute 10 as well for the length
You will probably have to logoff and back on again to get the change to
take.


I hope you don't need to index on the ID, as most of the time, item-IDs
are "meaningless" to the application or the user. I'm not sure if Dale
was referring to just the IDs or to indexing, but if it's related to just
the IDs, then I disagree that you need to pad leading zeroes: this neither
helps hashing nor helps the sorting/selecting process.

HTH!

Padding the item id will almost certainly help the hash however doing it
with leading zeroes is a good way to disaster adding 10 million would be
better.
A far simpler way is to just create a dictionary item and sort with that
using ID-SUPP say
001 ITEMID
002 A
003 My Numeric Key
009 R
010 16
The length is probably irrelevant as the Description is plenty long enough.
