when you create a dictionary entry like this, the data is not stored but
  generated at run time. In UV (I don't know about UD) you can also use
the EVAL statement in a SELECT which does this kind of thing at runtime
eg:

SELECT MYFILE WITH EVAL "UPCASE(@ID)" LIKE "...HELLO..."

Works on UniVerse.

Have a look at HELP EVAL from TCL.
