Create a simple edit macro that does a NUMBER OFF. Apply the macro to every member of the PDS (e.g. by using a product like SimpList or one of the free tools on the CBT). If every member has number off, they should no longer keep switching to number on.
Alternatively, create the same edit macro and set it as an initial macro. That way, every time you go into a member it will turn numbers off for that one specific member.
