Stu and everyone else,
Thanks for sticking with me but I'm going to ask you to take a look one
more time. I inserted your suggestion in line 9 This time I include my
full paragraph and the error message that comes up is a syntax error.
Anyone else re
Dear Kevin
Try this
EVAL IF FIELD.NAME[1] = * THEN 1 ELSE IF INDEX(FIELD.NAME,'Incomplete',1)
THEN 1 ELSE 0"

Ken, you responded:
"TOTAL EVAL "(INDEX(H.CS.ADM.EST.NEED ,'*',1) OR INDEX(H.CS.ADM.EST.NEED
,'Incomplete',1))" \
Though I suspect that wouldn't actually do what you want because the INDEX
function returns an offset, not just 1 or zero. You'll have to make the
EVAL statement more complex with so
UNIQUERY. I tried in on UniVerse and
it works and should work on UniData.

It's
hard to help without seeing your error msgs. The [1] means the last byte
of FIELD.NAME. If any byte could contain "*" then perhaps
(INDEX(FIELD.NAME,'*',1) OR INDEX(FIELD.NAME,'Incomplete',1)) would work.
This should work in UNIQUERY. I tried in on UniVerse and it works and

A problem is the use
of the double-quote more than once - this will fail. Also, in your
original below you have the following clause using LIKE:

If all
you need is just a count of records in a file with a particular field
containing the value "*" or "Incomplete":
COUNT file WITH field = '*' 'Incomplete'
