Does the order number ever include non numeric characters? If not, then
why would you want it to be alpha?
It looks like you just have issues with the number of spaces, which you
could check in your called program before using the variable. The called
program should except the string w/o the spaces... then just concat the
number of needed spaces to the beginning of the order number.
Then you don't need to worry about all the " " stuff on the front end
side....I would def handle this on the server side since that is where the
problem comes in. But I would really use a numeric order number if you
don't need alphas....

[WEB400] How do I preserve leading blanks in fields - Using CGIDEV2
@Bryce
Here is my HTML. The order number is the field with the problem. As you
will
see, I use it as a link to a called program which fails. As a work around,
I
have right justified the field in the called program. Order number is
alpha.
Thanks
