So you are saying that the value stored is the [global reference_";"_IEN]?
Where is this stuff documented? I can't find where all the data dictionary formatting stuff is described. I am trying to find a way to programatically scan a system for all pointers IN to a given record. I am going to be working with my drug files, and they are all messed up on my FOIA release. Full of junk records, and lacking needed entries. I don't want to go through and fix everything one records at a time.
