</p>
<p>Yes, this would be the case (maybe best in uppercase). But I don't think you need a new function for this because you could use a set of replace commands in the format?</p>

<div>The idea of cleaning is something like the following example<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>let's get a string made up of a combination of fields: s(v100,v245^a,v300^c)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> <<<em>Ascencio, Guilda, El arte de programar: introducción; ejemplos & prácticas.[2009]>></em><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>then the clean function will return <<<em>AscencioGuildaElartedeprogramarintroduccionejemplos&practicas2009>></em><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>this string will be indexed with FRBR objective<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Piet, is it correct?<br>
</div>

<div>Great, it works!!!<br>
<div><br>

<br>
so, what we need now is a function to clean a string of all<br>
non-alphanumeric elements, i.e. spaces, typographic characteres,<br>
etc.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
in this way you can create keys for FRBR independently of the<br>
punctuation used in cataloging (isbd or other)<br>

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

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