How to use counterField in the form Datasource?

Hi Experts,

I have tired using CouterField in the Form Datasource for a field which is real (EDT as LineNum at table level and it is the index for the table). But, I am getting Values like

1.00000

-1.00000

-2.00000

-3.00000

and so on for the new records.

Can anyone please tell where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance.

It should actually give me positive values and increase with every new record.

You need to override the form datasource create() method and supply the default value of append = true. In this way it will insert records at the last! So this will increment lineNum and you’ll be getting positive line numbers
