Dave,
The value $--1$ is a Remedy keyword conversion that means $NULL$. So in your case it is checking that the fields are NULL. Here is a list of keywords conversions I compiled many years ago which may have been added to since doing it. $-1$ = $USER$ $-2$ = $TIMESTAMP$ $--1$= $NULL$ $-6$ = $SERVER$ $-5$ = $SCHEMA$ $-0$=$DEFAULT$ $-4$=$DATE$ $-14$=$LASTCOUNT$ $-13$=$LASTID$ $-3$-$TIME$ $-7$=$WEEKDAY$ Brian Bishop Goldstag Consultants Ltd tel: +44 (0)7973 746832 <http://www.linkedin.com/in/brianpbishop> Linkedin From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barber, David Sent: 07 May 2009 13:44 To: [email protected] Subject: What would $--1$ relate to? ** Seen on a macro/search - field 1 = $--1$ and also a little later in the same search - field 2 = $--1$ The first field is an assignee, but the second is just a flag. Not exactly obvious what it does at all. Any ideas? Ta Dave This e-mail has been scanned for viruses by the Cable & Wireless e-mail security system - powered by MessageLabs.
