<div class="moz-cite-prefix">When using the "co" or contains, it is
most important to make sure there are no trailing blanks spaces.<br>
<br>
If the real field is 20 chars. and the last name is "Williams",
there are 12 trailing spaces that will make your statement false
in this case;<br>
<br>
assuming field 4 is the last name 20 chars in length with a value
of "Williams"<br>
name(3) is "Richard D. Williams"<br>
if: not(name(3) co 4)<br>
<br>
This would be true. Saying that name(3) <u>does not</u> contain
"Williams". But it does.<br>
<br>
Now, if you take the last name real field 4 in our example and
place it inside "l", like this; l=""{4{"",<br>
you eliminate the trailing blanks space contained in the real
field and the statement above would be false.<br>
<br>
Possibly it would be easier to show the opposite case, but I hope
you get my drift here.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>

The issue I am having is how to do a not contain (not co) yields
a syntax error.
<br>
<br>
The file being used might have a suffix such as Jr or Sr or II.
I am trying to avoid having to eliminate these suffixes. If I
need to do this, it will just complicate this processing.
