Kevin;
 
  I would not rely upon the naked reference to get you the proper node (especially when you are testing for the non-existence of the target node.  Use the whole reference in the set.  Basically, the result of the naked, $ZREFENCE is likely to be set near where the $D() reference failed, not the apparent full reference.  You might try capturing the $ZREFERENCE after the naked gets set.  It could be interesting.

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.
