Sequence Numbers Keys 

The sequence numbers keys allow you to display the field numbers on the
screen, or renumber the fields on manually numbered data screens.

To display the field numbers, press the  Sequence Numbers  function key,
and then press the  Display Numbers  function key.

Press the  Auto Number  function key to resequence the fields on a
manually numbered screen.  You must resequence the fields on a manually
numbered screen if you add an additional field or delete an existing
field.  The painter does not allow you to save a manually numbered screen
if the fields need renumbering.

To renumber the fields on a manually numbered data screen or window,
press the  Modify Numbers  function key.  You can now move to the field,
press Return, and type over the numbers displayed in the screen fields.
Press Return after you enter each number.  You must start numbering the
fields from 1, and you must number the fields sequentially and without
breaks.  Press the  End Modify  function key to terminate the modify
numbers mode.  You cannot save a manually numbered screen if the field
numbering sequence is incorrect.
