David --- The principle is simple; you create a computed variable (or
line check) to look for specific combinations. Here would be one way to
do it from LAB.L.TEST:
xx.select
DAT=PINT
LEN=1
VAL=IF{(@mnemonic="TEST"&(@rg.report.name="Amphetamines"))!(@mnemonic=
VAL="TEST2"&(@rg.report.name="Tetracycline")) 1}
I too am no Lab expert, so the variables I chose may be incorrect, but
the logic of the statement would be somewhat close to what you want.
Note the placement of parentheses to keep the variables together.

======================================
I am trying to write a microbiology report that will select a culture
result based on a couple of the antibiotic results. For example, I want
all Ecoli that are Resistant to Ampicillin but Sensitive to Tetracycline
(forgive me if that doesn't make sense - I'm not a microbiologist!!). I
keep thinking it will be something like selecting antibiotic A reaction
eq S and Antibiotic B reaction eq R (or S) but am stumped on how to set
up the select.
I would like a generic technique (so if your example isn't micro I'm
fine with that) as I can see this applying to so many other reports in
Lab.
Thanks in advance
