The following code models a scenario I am facing:
DEFINE FILE GGSALES
 SEQ_A2/A2 = DECODE SEQ_NO (1  '01'
                            2  '02'
                            3  '03'
			 4  '04'
			5  '05'
			6  '06'
			7  '07'
			8  '08'
			9  '09'
			10 '10'
			11 '11'
			12 '12');
 SEQ_A2V/A2V = SEQ_A2
END
-*
TABLE FILE GGSALES
PRINT SEQ_NO/I2L AS 'SEQ_I2'
      SEQ_A2
      SEQ_A2V
IF SEQ_NO LE 12
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
END
-EXIT

When I use the Active Report filtering menu option, and filter for the following selections - 'SEQ_A2' Equals 10 - I see no records in the Active Report.

When I select '10' for the numeric column, I see only the row with '10'.

(I know I have the option to redefine the alphanumeric column, in my real scenario, however I am not quick to do it. [I didn't write the program, and at this point, there is some complexity within it, I am not quick to want to change.])

Any ideas on why I am seeing this issue, and/or any fixes that might not involve code changes?

I realize I might be missing something obvious. :-)

Hi David,

It does filter properly.

Once you applied the filter, minimize (NOT CLOSE) the filter box and you'll see the result.

Or if you click "Highlight" instead of "Filter" you'll see the selected row highlighted.

Thanks for checking Martin.

I am as certain as I can be that I minimize the 'Filter Selection' box, not close it. For sure, selecting 1 - 9, works as expected. Just the 'two-position' values, in the two alpha columns, do not work.

I hope this isn't a release issue, but FYI I am running under 8.0.07.

Thanks again for your post.

You are right David, I've tried under 8.0.0.9 and only 01 through 09 does filter where under 7.7.03 it does work all the time for any values.

I think that you'll have the honor to open a case Music

I will open a case shortly, and then update the thread heading.

Thanks again, for checking.
