Off the top, modify the I-Descriptor to be :
TRANS("OTHERFILE",NOTES,-1);@1[INDEX(@1,"COMBO YS ",1)+9,6]

Subject: Re: [U2] Question about a dictionary item (2nd question)
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?
