Hi Pamela,
Personally, I would setup a SUBR type dict and then just do a loop:
SUBROUTINE SUB.GET.NBR(RETURN.VALUE, DATA.ITEM)
C = DCOUNT(DATA.ITEM,@VM)
RETURN.VALUE = ""
FOR I = 1 TO C
IF DATA.ITEM<1,I>[1,8] = "COMBO YS" THEN
RETURN.VALUE = FIELD(DATA.ITEM<1,I>,' ',3)
RETURN
END
NEXT I
RETURN
I'm sure there's probably a way to do it with the REUSE stuff but due to
development time I avoid those, as the above took me about 90
seconds.....clients like that.....
hth,

Subject: [U2] Question about a dictionary item
Hi,
I have a multi-value attribute that's made up of free text remarks.
However, we put a couple of system messages there as well. I need to
extract the 6 digit number that follows the "COMBO YS " in the line
below, but I'm having trouble setting up the conversion code in the
dictionary.
Misc Text}Misc Text}COMBO YS 073102}Misc Text
Could someone give me some suggestions?
