Crystal Reports for Rational Application Developer Designer Guide

Create a new formula called Formula3.

Select the Formula tab in the Crystal Reports Designer and type the following formula:

If {CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NAME} [1 to 2] = 'Ro" Then
     "TRUE"
Else
     "FALSE"

There is an X in the margin. When you move the pointer over the X, you will see the following error message:

The matching ' for this string is missing.

Correct the formula by changing the single quote (') before Ro to a double quote (").

When the formula is correct, the X will no longer be displayed.

Place the formula adjacent to the @Formula2 field.

Click the Preview tab.

Check the values in the report and compare the fields to see if the field values returned by @Formula3 are correct.

You should see "TRUE" next to all Customer names that begin with "Ro" and "FALSE" next to all Customer names that do not begin with "Ro".
