Re: just curious - Number of Parms

[This having been said, I submit that it's best to leave numeric 
definitions to those entities that indicate quantitative data and avoid 
the type of problems mentioned.]
     
     Say it, say it brother!
     
     I have felt this strongly for years.  I would go further, and suggest 
     that such entities as document numbers be alphanumeric.  Numeric 
     fields should only be used, as you say, to express quantities.
