Hello, I am using WF version 7.7.03, on a Oracle platform. I have a synonym that has a field formatted at A800v. There are 3 values that I'm trying to filter out in order to do drill downs. The values are "HIGH", "Moderate", "Low.". There are other values in the same field with a max of 18 characters that I'm not concerned with. My problem is that I have tried various ways of manipulating the field for example using DEFINE's: The field is called Risk_Level and I have tried the following: (Note: I know the WHERE statements are commented) they are just examples of what I have tried!
Each time I get zero records meet the criteria and I know for a fact this is incorrect. Any help on my issue would be greatly appreciated!!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: <Kathryn Henning>,

Here is what I would try first.
See if you can query the table using the CONTAINS on real A800V field like this.
TABLE FILE tablename PRINT somefields WHERE RISK_LEVEL CONTAINS 'HIGH' OR 'Moderate' OR 'Low'; END
then if that works you have several options. here is one.
if the 3 values always start in position then you should be able to do and define and filter on it like so
DEFINE FILE tablename
RISK/A8 = IF EDIT(RISK_LEVEL, '9999') EQ 'HIGH' THEN 'HIGH' ELSE
IF EDIT(RISK_LEVEL, '999') EQ 'Low' THEN 'Low' ELSE
IF EDIT(RISK_LEVEL, '99999999') EQ 'Moderate' THEN 'Moderate' ELSE
'X';
END
TABLE FILE tablename
PRINT somefields
WHERE RISK EQ 'HIGH' OR 'Moderate' OR 'Low';
END
