You can hide or show columns in the grid by right-clicking on the upper left corner of the grid and selecting the fields to show or hide from the Columns submenu.

When you define IDs and codes, it is important for you to know how they appear in a field list after they are sorted. TRAVERSE sorts alphanumeric data alphabetically by comparing first characters, then second characters, and so forth. When two alphanumeric characters are compared, the character with the smaller ASCII value comes first in the alphabetic sort.

The list of alphanumeric characters is in ascending alphabetic order:

• Special characters (-, *, /, and so forth)
• Numbers (0-9)
• Uppercase letters (A-Z)
• Lowercase letters (a-z)

Alphabetical rules are not intuitive when numbers are involved. For example, in numerical sorting 60 comes before 112; however, in alphabetical sorting 112 comes before 60. To ensure that numbers appear in the same order in both an alphabetic and numeric sort, pad numbers to the left with zeros until they are the same length. For example, if 60 is defined as 060, 060 comes before 112 in both an alphabetic and a numeric sort.

Each option within the condition appears as a different color to help distinguish it from the other options, Red Text [Blue Text] Green Text <gray text>. The instructions below illustrate how to build a condition.
