This is it's set node:   S:'$D(^DPT("B",$E(X,1,30),DA(1),DA)) ^(DA)=1 So, to me, this looks like it is affecting the "B" index of the entire file, and inserting the alias name into the "B" index. So I look in ^DPT("B",AliasName), and I don't find my entry.  This may explain why it's not working. That's certainly an unusual approach. The whole point of mnemonic cross-references is to allow you to create many-to-one indices (using alternate names) like this. In my opinion, multi-index lookup is much cleaner, but the PATIENT file has been around for a long time.
