If I want to reference this with a dictionary item in a second file, can
I do that? I tried setting up an S type "NOTES" entry in the DICT item
for the second file with the conversion set up as
"T1,6}TFILENAME;X;44;44" and then tried using the code below for an I
descriptor, but it couldn't handle it. The display was blank. Am I
trying to do too much using the dictionary?

A 15 second I-Descriptor :
NOTES[INDEX(NOTES,"COMBO YS ",1)+9,6]
If the length of the data you are after is variable to the end of the
field
NOTES[INDEX(NOTES,"COMBO YS ",1)+9,99]<1,1>
Or extends to the next space or end of field
NOTES[INDEX(NOTES,"COMBO YS ",1)+9,99]<1,1>[' ',1,1]

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?
