Mod #4 Customer Item Inquiry Sort

This modification sorts the item information on the "Customer Item Inquiry" screen in correct numerical sequence. To simplify entry of various identification numbers (Customer Number, Item Number, etc.) entrée stores these values in a "left-justified" format. This means the number begins on the left side of the edit field and any leftover space are on the right.

 

Although this simplifies data entry it also produces some unusual results when you try doing a sort on left-justified data values. You get sequences like "1, 10, 100, 2, 20, 200". This modification temporarily reorganizes the Item Number values so that they are in a "right-justified" format where the number is shifted as far to the right of the field as it can go and any leftover space is on the left. This produces the expected "1, 2, 10, 20, 100, 200" sequencing that you would expect.++
