Strange Problem

[Rick Mitchell]

I have two fields:

29  Date of transaction   8  yymd
30  Serial # of transact  9 

I have an index built on Field 29

File is called mbien04p

I am importing new data.

I get field 29 and 30 from the raw data.

I do a lookup to the file


lookup test=mbien04p k=29 i=h -nx

I will have data in field 29, i.e. 20040626 and when I do a lookup to it it
fails.

Do I need to use these as integers instead of date edits?
