Thank you for all the great help and information Kelly! I didn't think about doing it in two mappings.

Update from BMC Engineering - Current IF THEN ELSE does not have a provision to support functions,so we cannot use any functions with exiting IF THEN ELSE syntax. Update from Me - Plan A = Add a filter that on submit or modify sets the field Login to Lower($login$) Plan B = do this with 2 mappings - 1. Query for Login = Null Do your set field "no login" 2. Query for Login Not Null Do your set field to function|lower($Login$) --------------------- Kelly Deaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: RE: AIE Escape Character? > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, June 12, 2008 7:13 am > To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG > > This looks right to me too.
