   Craig to All   
   another setGenFilter question   
   03 Feb 07 21:46:42   
   
   From: craig.futterman@nospam.comcast.net   
      
   I have a field called hospitalnumber and I want to use setGenFilter.   
   The field looks like this 123-45-67 (with the dashes)   
   When I use code:   
      
     AR["HospitalNumber"] =stMR ;// stMR is the hospitalnumber   
      TCBio.setGenFilter(AR)   
      
   I get the error: "The filter expression in field HospitalNumber is not valid   
                          "Operation not applicable"   
   Is this because of the dashes?   
      
   I tried to break it apart and make it look like: 123/-45/-67. But that   
   didn't seem to work.   
   Any work arounds?   
   Thanks   
   Craig
