RENUMBER 

Renumber fields to screen order.

Syntax 

     RENUMBER form 

Parameters 

form             is the name of the form containing the fields to be
                 renumbered.

Discussion 

The fields in the form specified by form are renumbered in accordance
with screen order, left to right, top to bottom.  If your application
depends on field numbers, be sure to update your application to reflect
the changed field numbers.  If the fields are already numbered in screen
order, a message is returned and the fields are not renumbered.

For family forms, the parent form must be specified; all family members
are then automatically renumbered.  Again, if your application depends on
field numbers, be sure to update your application, in this case, for all
family members.  If you specify the name of a child form, the fields are
not renumbered.  Instead, a message is returned stating the form was not
renumbered because it is a child form and indicating the name of the
parent form.

Example 

     RENUMBER FORM1

Renumbers the fields in FORM 1 in screen order.
