Release: 6.0.1 CF2

Platform: All Platforms

I'm using a @DBLookup to load several combo boxes in a web app. In
some of them, I'm able to get both a value and text, while in others
I'm not. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the skinny, I'm using 6.0.1 CF2 on an iSeries. I use the
@dblookup against a master files database we have in order to speed up
things on the Web.

The view that works correctly has the following formula for the
column:

STNLOC + " " + @Left(STNDES;12) + " | " + STNLOC
The output returned looks like this:

<option selected>
<option value="ABE">ABE ALLENTOWN/BE
<option value="ABQ">ABQ ALBUQUERQUE

The view that does not work has the following formula for the column:

Category + " | " + Category_Value
The output returned looks like this:

<option selected>
<option>A | 0
<option>B | 1
<option>C | 2
<option>D | 3

What's the difference? Is this not the correct way of getting a
value?

Thanks for any help!
