I meant Codes File (or table) not codes time.

But I suggest that you use a codes time and chain to the codes type with
the first three characters, that way, if someone changes their mind, you
can just add a record to the codes file rather than the program object.

I have to know if a string begins with the 3 characters 'A ', 'B

'C

I was going to use %substr. If I just put the string in a 3A work
variable
and compare that, will this be more economical? But then I wouldn't
be
able
to use the bif %substr.

Thanks
