It would make our life so much easier if we could inquire the tab-order value of a control.  If we can’t have that,  could you allow us to inquire the name of the control as a text field?  Either of these would be read-only of course. 
 
The inquire would be a format 1 query:
77  my-tab-order usage unsigned-short.
77 my-control-name pic x(30).
INQUIRE { control-item } tab-order in my-tab-order.
INQUIRE { control-item } name in my-control-name.
 
Now the more difficult request.  Since you already have the control handles somewhere in the runtime’s memory, and the tab order in there too, allow me to inquire by the tab-order.  If that can be done then let’s take it one step further and allow me to modify controls using the tab-order instead of the handle.
 
Here is an example of why either of these values would be useful…  Postal Codes aka Zip Codes. 
If the tab-order were available:
When a user enters the zip code I know that the state is the preceding field and the city is the field prior to that in the tab order.  I have the current control’s handle in event-control-handle.  If I was able to inquire the tab-order of the controls then I could create a table of the tab-order and control handles.  This would allow me to use the postal code to populate the City and State and/or validate the user-entered city and state on the two preceding fields. 
 
If the name were available:
When a user enters the zip code I would be able to parse the name and see if it was the shipping zip or the billing zip.  This would allow me to know if I should populate s-city or b-city based on the current control’s value.  However, I don’t have a way to know the name of the current control.  I have the handle in event-control-handle but no way to know the name of the current control.
