Hello,

in most cases.

e.g.

lcValue = 'Alias.SomeField'
?JUSTEXT(lcValue) && = 'someField'
?SUBSTR(lcValue,RAT(".",lcValue)+1) && = 'someField'

lcValue = 'someField'
?JUSTEXT(lcValue) && = '' -> since no '.' in the string means no extension ..
?SUBSTR(lcValue,RAT(".",lcValue)+1) && = 'someField' -> since RAT returns 0 if no point in string

cause i was sure that i always specified alias+fieldname in my controlsources it was save to use justext()
