We will be looking at a Tag Template that we can
use to retrieve an Alpha Value from a Direct Data Source. Rather than by
name, this Template retrieves the data
by Field Number.In the Invoice Report that we show here, there is a Unit, but
we are interested in the Values outside of the Unit, because those are the
Values that we address by the Alpha and Numeric from Direct Data Source
Templates.

We note that we can use this method only when we
have a Direct Data source listed, and more often than not, when we use the
Field number method as opposed to the Name method, then it is a data record
specially prepared for the Report.
