Select statement on an Item in the Dictionary

[Deskin, Bob]

The syntax and processing requires a specific single value that is a
positive match. PDL does not provide any expression processing. So the
answer is no, not at this time.

Subject: Select statement on an Item in the Dictionary

I know you can use a SELECT statement in the dictionary on an ITEM.  I
can use an actual value and even a blank (in quotes). 
But there has to be a value in it.  Is there anyway to say SELECT if the
field is Not Blank?  We have a file that has blanks and not blank in
them.  The not blanks are many and can be any value, hence my question.
I.E., I would constantly be changing the dictionary to have
redefinitions for all the values.

Please don't reply with you can say SELECT if ITEM <> " " in Quiz, QTP
etc. I already know that.
