I have a boolean parameters define on the start part.

The parameter have the default value FALSE

This parameter have to become TRUE if the number contain '-G' caracters string.

Is it possible use some kind of expression to do so during the generation of part, before the saving?

Many tanks for your aswer

Seems like you want to set a parameter to be "YES" based upon whether another parameter contains the text "-G". You need a relation.

For example, if

paramName is the string parameter with your "name"

paramBool is the YES/NO (boolean) parameter you want to set

Something like this needs to be in your relations:

paramBool = NO

IF search ( paramName, "-G" ) > 0

paramBool = YES

ENDIF

Or, perhaps you could use

paramBool = ( search ( paramName, "-G" ) > 0 )

I don't know if the second one will work, but it might.

Hi

At the end my right expression is:

GREZZO = NO

IF (search(PRO_MP_CSYS,"-G") > 0)

GREZZO = YES

ENDIF

Your suggestion was very helpfull
