======================================
I sent a message earlier in the week regarding a challenging attribute.
I want to prohibit the use of "U" as part of the response to the query
for Dose. "27 Units" is a valid response, but "27 U" is not.
Theoretically, a valid response could end in U.
The following will find a U anywhere in the string, but does not
distinguish whether or not it is "alone" or part of a word (i.e. "U" vs
"UNIT"):
FCL1=L(@.response,"U")'=L(@.response)
The following checks the last character of the string for "U"
FCL1=%Z.right(@.response,1)="U"
That would probably work for most cases, but isn't specifically checking
for the criteria we want to avoid. For example, "IU" could be a valid
option, and this attribute would flag it.
This is what I have in "LIVE" now. So far, it seems to "work as
desired":
FCL1=IF{L(@.response,"U") L(@.response,"U")^UPOS,
[EMAIL PROTECTED](UPOS-1)'?1A&(%Z.right(@.response,1)="U")}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED](D(34)_"U"_D(34)_" is not an approved abbreviation.")
By the way, I am using a second FCL statement that does the same for
"u".
Any suggestions for improvement are appreciated.
