91651

If you are using English with a right justified dictionary item and the data is of the form A01, A001 then the data should be surrounded by square brackets, for example,

SELECT file WITH rjdict = "[A01]"

If the brackets are not included in the enquiry, then Reality will match A01, A001, A0001 as being matched to A01.

This is due to right justification changing the data into binary format where 00 is treated in the same way as 0, that is, A01 = A001

If the data is wholly numeric then the brackets may be omitted as in this case 1001 will NE 10001.

SELECT file WITH rjdict = "1001"
