I’ve tried to see if anyone has asked this question before and was unable to find an answer, so I’m afraid the answer is probably as simple as it seems. My question is can an application have more than one @number with different values? Thank you for any replies.

There is only one @Number per application, but @Number is only really supported for Q&A compatibility. You can have as many sequential numbers as you want by using GlobalValue.

Might I proceed the global value with a say ..."A- then the global number" is that possable?

Erika,
would not @globalvalue ("MyNum") return only string, so putting @str in front will be redundant? In any case,  it will not affect the final result.  As per my understanding it is required to be converted with @tonumber to number to carry out mathematically calculation.  Just trying to get the proper understanding.

Your write-ups in InsideSesame is very insight provoking and I can hardly wait to go directly to your contribution first. Even a small tip from you makes a big difference.  You are just great in imparting clarity to difficult concept. Thank you.

my head caught fire after typing in the code that worked by the way thank you, dont know what I said but the computer liked it. and where would I add 
MyValue = "A-" + @Str(@GlobalValue("MyNum"))
to this?      

//only assign the number if
//this is a new record which
//has been changed.

var vNextNum as int

if(@IsNew)
{

    if (@Modified)
    {

        vNextNum =
@ToNumber(@GlobalValue("nextNumber"))
+1
      
       opo = vNextNum
       GlobalValue("NextNumber",
@Str(vNextNum))
    }
}      

forever thankfull

Works great! thank you
