<p>Yes, Guida, this works! That is the one we need! You keep surprising us the good way. My mistake was I tried to construct it as an end validation for a certain worksheet, and not for general.</p>

<p>Dear Ernesto,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for your fast answer. Yes, a proc ind the end format should be possible too. But if that is the case, we need no special mechanism to replace the spaces, since a replace command could do this (plus: punctuation should also be stripped from our
"key").</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>You know, this is what we had in Weblis 10 years ago: you could add many things (including content from other databases) while saving. I know ABCD is much more advanced compared with Weblis, but they had some nice thing too, e.g. this one plus a very good
layout for thesauri. Maybe you and Guilda could get the code from them for that too (in fact it is open source software, although the source can only be optained from Unesco).</p>

<div>Dear Piet<br>
<br>
As far as I know (Guilda should confirm) this is a pending issue for a long time,<br>
this kind of feature should be implemented in<br>
Record Validation<br>
* End format<br>
where the format should include a PROC( )<br>
<br>
I think the reason this feature is pending is because nobody has requested it before
<br>
<br>
If you want this kind of function (I imagine you need it for FRBR indexation), we also need a function to clean the string from non-alphanumeric chars in order to generate clean and compact unique keys<br>
<br>

<p>Dear friends,</p>

<p>Who knows a way to automatically add content to a field in ABCD while saving a record. I know it is possible to add the name and the operator plus the data, to add increment the control number and a few other things, but I would need in e.g. a local field
the processed content of some other fields, e.g. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>-> these fields are keyed in:</p>
