Having been doing a bit of Java recently...I envisioned something like
Field.checked("3rd Option") = TRUE...I know that it doesn't follow remedy
run-if statements...but I imagine that they would be able to do it in a
'remedy' way...:)...even if it was a run process (like they seem to be
adding more and more of these days) that returned 1 or 0 (true or false),
and the input was (field, value)...and it would check to see if that field
had that value checked or not....-----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grooms, Frederick W Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 1:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Check Box Problem True a binary coded field would work, but you can't run a Mod or a bitwise or type function in a Run-If to see if a specific value is selected. Think about writing a filter to fire if the 3rd value (out of 10 possible) is selected. The other way I have seen it done is to use a Character field position (if you have 10 checkboxes the value is a 10 character string and each checkbox is represented by 0 or 1 in the position in the string). Using this method you can use a pattern in a Run-If to compare ('zTmp' LIKE "__1%").

I asked a Peregrim [sic] rep about that at a demo session in Philly. His answer should have been telling me something. "I don't know why it was built like that. Yes a binary coded field would probably work." LJ, Have you done this yourself? I toyed around with it but it wasn't a priority and I didn't come up with a good solution to make it portable. John J.

If you allowed a Radio Button to be multi-selected (which is basically what you are suggesting), how would you use it in a Run-If? Personally I think that extending the character field w/menu Append Items functionality to have a Show as Multi Select option would be the way to do it.
