This wont work if the field has decimals, ie N(10,3)
Have to write a function to determine max value to do it with a replace like that.

Something like this should work.

PROCEDURE maxval
LPARAMETERS size, dec
LOCAL cNum
cNum = REPLICATE('9', dec)
cNum = "." + m.cNum
cNum = REPLICATE('9', m.Size - (m.dec + 1)) + m.cNum
RETURN VAL(m.cNum)
