I have a reference number being stored as a numerical type which is comprised of a date and sequence number such as " 19990512019". When I select this number in a view for purposes of writing it to a comma delimited file, it converts to scientific notation such as "1.999E+10". I try to convert it to a STRING value before including it but it remains in scientific form. Unfortunately, a lot of code would have to be written to convert the native field to string. How do I "shut off" scientific notation and get the value to operate as a strict number field??

TIA
