If you are using alpha characters or searching alpha characters, you
need to convert everything to upppercase or lowercase before searching.
Here is an example that is working:
Edit Field Attributes: xx.select
VAL=IF{c.xx.srch.field^SRCH,
VAL=L(@urn,SRCH)'=L(@urn) "Y";L(@title,SRCH)'=L(@title) "Y";
VAL=(c.xx.srch.field~$U.TO.L)^SRCH,(@urn~$U.TO.L)^URN,
VAL=L(URN,SRCH)'=L(URN) "Y";
VAL=(@title~$U.TO.L)^TTL,L(TTL,SRCH)'=L(TTL) "Y";"N"}
Hope this helps,

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] String Locator function inconsistent
Hi L'ers,
I created a report to find a text string (dial string. mnemonic or
company) in the MIS recipient dictionary. I'm using the Locator
function in a computed field as a select as follows:
xx.sel
DAT=INT
JFY=R
LEN=1
VAL=IF{L(@mnemonic,/FAXNO)'=L(@mnemonic) 1;
VAL=L(@company,/FAXNO)'=L(@company) 1;
VAL=L(@dial.string,/FAXNO)'=L(@dial.string) 1;""}
The problem is that it's inconsistent in what it returns. For example,
I'll enter part of a mnemonic that I know is in the dict but it won't
find anything. But I can enter another partial string of a dictionary
record and it will find that.
Would anyone see anything wrong with the attribute above or know why
this would be inconsistent?
Thanks, Steve
