All fields being selected are Integer fields except for the first one which is a N(8,2). I dumped the cursor out to a file and it indeed only has 5 characters in the structure. Any one know why this happens, and if it's for some odd reason "By design."

I would PADR both your cFract and cSort fields so that the same length is always returned. The SELECT will make the field size based off of the first record that is added to the cursor.
