title: Universe dictionary item extract first character of attribute in a multivalue field
body: <p>am trying to extract the first character from each subvalue in a record attribute.</p>
  
  <p>Thus far am trying</p>
  
  <p>REUSE(@RECORD&lt;2>);FIELD(@1,'*',1,1)</p>
  
  <p>But it would appear to be returning the first character of the first subvalue.</p>
  
  <p>Know this can be done, but having no luck with it. </p>
  
  <p>Edit record 2 is in the format A<em>B</em>C]B<em>A</em>D]F<em>C</em>C"</p>
  
  <p>Edit 2 , sorry there's an aster (*) between each letter of the array in previous line but can't work out how to show that</p>
