This has something to do with initials being an output transform. If you use INTERNAL(ENTERED BY), EQUALS, 73 it should work.

Still doesn't work.

I went back to that particular record, and reentered
value for ENTERED BY field.  I entered 'kst', and it
expanded to 'TOPPENBERG, KEVIN S' (By the way, kst's
DUZ=73)

I then looked at the data with VPE's VGL function.
Here it is.  You can see that node;piece 13;2 (field
1302=ENTERED BY) here = 73  (Also, I looked at the
global data for other documents that I had not
re-entered, and they also were 73.)

==================================[Session
1]==================================
 1) ^TIU(8925,4299,0) =
1305^34245^^^7^^3041105^3041105^^18
 2) ^TIU(8925,4299,12) =
3050207.210339^74^^74^11^^^^74^^11
 3) ^TIU(8925,4299,13) = 3041105^73^U
 4) ^TIU(8925,4299,14) = ^^^3
 5) ^TIU(8925,4299,15) = ^74
 6) ^TIU(8925,4299,"TEXT",0) = ^^27^27^3050207^^
 7) ^TIU(8925,4299,"TEXT",1,0) =

I then re-ran the search.  Still no matches.  Here it
is:

The problem appears to be with your data, not with
FileMan.

Look at the ENTERED BY field in your record 4299.
If it were reflecting a
true pointer value, then your inquiry should reflect
the full name
"TOPPENBERG,KEVIN S" (like the full name "THWING,
PHILIP T" is displayed for
the AUTHOR/DICTATOR field).  It does not; what is
displayed appears to be
the literal 3-letter initial/abbreviation "kst".

A look at the entry on the global level should
verify whether the field
contains a numeric pointer value or a literal text
value.  Did you use a
4-slash field edit (field_number////value) to set
the value for the field?
Such a field edit can cause literal data to be
"forced" into a field and
override any input validation checks.
