I don't want to add a entry field if possible. This is in IBS and then
would require updating their XT Java screens. As this is a fix, I wanted to
minimize my involvement. The one field gets order# for 2 other files that
get user locks and it clears it. But ours is an alpha field on the key.

Buck, because this new table going against the key there is alpha.

I'll ask the same question from a different angle and maybe we'll connect.

Why use a numeric field when the user must type in an alpha value?
