I didn't say val(). If you want to use val() then:

index on padl(int(VAL(right(bp_eng.engkod,2))),2,'0') + padl(int(VAL(left(bp_eng.engkod,6))),6,'0') tag kod

Otherwise say 00000105 and 00000204 both yield to 6 (5 + 1 and 4 + 2).

>>>Hi,
>>>I would like to create an index from a field where the first six characters indicate the sequential number and the last two characters indicate the year. Is there any way to put these two numbers in one index field to see the field selected by the year in gorups and within this year groups the numbers are in sequence.
>>>TIA
