Hi,

How to turn off the collating sequence in dataflex file. The below is the content from collate.cfg

//
// Standard DataFlex Collate Table
//

// Control Characters
RANGE 0 31

// Special Characters
RANGE 32  47
RANGE 58  63
RANGE 91  96
RANGE 123 255

// Number
RANGE 48 57

// Alpha Characters
TEXT "@AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz"

// Finished.

Thanks / jambai

Sorry the collating sequence is used by the embedded DataFlex DBMS to sort the sequence in the native indexes. Switching it off would be a disaster. If you want a different sort sequence you should modify Collate.cfg itself and reindex the tables.

Can you tell me how to modify sort sequence for a table.

Assuming that the records in my table are in the order of 1,2,3,4,5,6..9,10. I am deleting 2,3 records, when I am inserting new records my record number goes to 2,3 only. I want my recordnumber to be as 11,12..like that.

Let me know how to acheive this by doing changes in the collate.cfg.

This has nothing to do with the Collate sequence. For the table concerned, you need to switch off (uncheck) the "Reuse Deleted Records" option using DFFile or Database Builder depending on the version of DataFlex you have.
