Regards David Jordan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Morawa, Hans Sent: Monday, 18 July 2005 4:24 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] I-type Help All, It's been awhile since I've created dictionary items for handling multi-value items. I've been trying to create an i-type which tests a multi-value field to see if it has a "-" in position 1. If true I want the system to display "N/Stock" otherwise print the "value". When the field has just one value my i-type works fine. When there is more than one it fails. My i-type is, IF SUBR('-SUBSTRINGS',A2,1,1) = "-" THEN "N/STOCK" ELSE A2 Output from the file without the i-type looks like this, LIST PO A2 14:14:15 18-07-05 PAGE 1 578842 -205 LTR DRUMS OF RANDO HD68 HYD OIL -205 LTR DRUMS OF RANDO HD32 HYD OIL M568949/1 -DATA CARD HOLDERS, 06516417.
