In Crystal Reports XI, How do I Select records from a field by the second character in that field?
In a report I am writing, I need to pull only the records that have a zero or a "C" as the second character in a specific field. Any suggestions? I was hoping a SELECT CASE (MID {FIELD1}, 2, 1) = 0) or SELECT CASE (MID {FIELD1}, 2, 1) = "C") would work, but I'm not doing something right.
Oops, missing left paren:
MID ({FIELD1}, 2, 1) = "0"
MID ({FIELD1}, 2, 1) = "0"

I'm not sure how to do this. In the Report/Select Expert, is there a way to tuck this in? I am NOT working with a SQL database, but a legacy flatfile db for which I link the tables in CR. This means I cannot do a view in SQL that would allow the select to happen before it gets to CR.
