[LOGic] RE:DXCC K vs KP (R Johnson)

[Xavier & familia]

Hi Roland,

I try to explain your doubt:

Logic is written in Visual Foxpro, when this languajes compares two string
works
it beggings from the first character until the last one, thats means, if the
first string
has only 1 character, the program only compares the first character of both
strings.

You can made an exact match (for an human brain)  replacing the simbol '='
for '=='.

This table will shows my idea better than my english:

"K" = "KP"   => YES
"K" =="KP"  => NO
"K "=="KP"  => NO

In Logic, the DXCC field has 5 characters long, so you can edit your query
for "K" stations
editing the original query string:

DXCC='K'

for this new one

DXCC=="K    "   (K plus 4 blank spaces)

or (better for me)

DXCC="K "   (K plus 1 blank)



EA3BHK, Xavier

Sorry Bob, I can't help you I have looked into it on my side and come up
with your results too!
 
I don't understand how "K" can be equal to "KP*" OR "KH*".
 
Maybe Dennis can explain...
 
BTW there is a new release for logic, version 7.0.160 available on their ftp
site.

Hi All:
Now that LoTW has added the WAS Award, I've been trying to do some sorting.
 
I download my "LoTW ADIF Report" and Import into a blank copy of Logic7.
 
I have found that if you do a filter on "DXCC=K" and "STATE=EMPTY" on the
LoTW confirmed QSO's, I find that the "KP" QSO's show up in the query
results.
 
For my current LoTW "WAS" Confirmations I get 14 hits, 13 of which are from
KP2's and WP2's !!!
 
I have looked at the "List of Valid Values" for "DXCC and "States"
and can't find any discrepancies in the lists that would make "K"
and "KP" look the same.
 
Maybe there is another "List" that I missed, or maybe there is a problem in
the "Filtering Algorithm" in LOGic 7.
 
Can anyone give me some incite to what I might be doing wrong ?
 
TNX es 73
Bob, K1VU
