A dbf table indexed by this index key

INDEX ON field->code + IIF( EMPTY( field->date ) ,"99999999" , DTOS( field->date ) ) TAG MYTAG TO mytable FOR !DELETED()

In a filtered tcbrowse

ordscope( 0 , cCode )
ordscope( 1 , cCode )

In order to obtain that when user want to append a new record

IF add_rec( )
REPLACE field->code WITH cCode
Stabilizza( oBrw )
ENDIF

this new record does not skip at the top. It remains at the bottom until I insert the date (90% more recent date that last inserted
Is it dangerous this indexkey?

Are there any simplest solutions?

IMHO,

That index is NOT dangerous.

A index expression "only" returns a key value.

In your case, sometimes returns 99999999.

Perfectly compatible.
