Zone Category Code not available

Gerald D Lock

We use the Category Code to group zone categories, but we're unable to isolate the field / value with the Criteria drop-down menu when using the Interactive Scheduler.
Zone Category Code is available in the Field picker for listing, so I'm thinking it's a bug / mistakenly left out.
Our current work-around is to make the Zone ID the same as the Category Code, but this has obvious consistency error problems, and the added issue of being subject to auto-ID increase if the user has set this option.

Are we missing something? Is it called something else in the Criteria list?

IF we're not mistaken, THEN

I have recently had to deal with the same thing.
my work around was..

make a custom zone stamp(copied a standard zone stamp)

add a parameter "Zone_catogory_code"

add in the parameter script:
rrr = request("Zone_category", "", catname, catcode)
IF rrr > 1 THEN
PARAMETERS Zone_catogory_code = catcode
ELSE
PARAMETERS Zone_catogory_code = ""
ENDIF

Have the schedule read the custom parameter of the "custom zone stamp" library part
