This index would work in assumption, what all these fields have Numeric 1.
If it's not true, instead of transform, I'd use:
index on str(field1,fsize(field1))+...
Use str and put real length of your numeric fields here.
Use can also use padl function, IOW:
pald(field1,fsize(field1),'0')+...

Say, you have field1 Numeric 5, field2 Numeric 3
your index would be index on padl(field1,5,'0')+padl(field2,3,'0')
Data:
1 0
0 2
1 2

you will have:

'00000002'
'00001000'
'00001002'
