Note:
DTYPE_PHONE in Siebel is a number. However, for the value to be meaningful, it is necessary to apply
Siebel formatting to the field. To reduce the effort required to add a SQL expression for every
DTYPE_PHONE element, Crystal Reports automatically applies the format and returns the value as a
string.
When filtering the phone type field, the Crystal report automatically removes the formatting and converts
the value into a number. For example:
[Phone Number] = (123) 456-7890
will be filtered as
[Phone Number] = 1234567890
