That's another confirmaiton of the risk involved in using UDFs in Select-SQL. Can you add this field to your cursor after the select (e.g. post-process your cursor)?

>This was working and now it does not. The problem is that the result value of PAYORID = "ZZCERT" (derived from cr.PayorID) but the value sent to the EligibilityRequestFormat function in the first parameter (cr.PayorID) is an empty string when it gets to the function. Well, it has about 10 spaces in it. How can the value of cr.PayorID be "ZZCERT" in the one field, but be empty in the other?
