Bulk input of Program Name Listings

I need to add some program name listings from an external source to a list of constituents.  Does anyone know the algorithm to generate the sort name field in tx_cust_program?

Thanks in advance.

  • Steve,

    I guess it depends on what you want the value in sort_name field to be, where you're getting the other information from and how you're generating the data.

    If I were doing it in SQL, I would probably get this from the T_CUSTOMER table - using the following logic to generate the sort_name:

    upper(lname) + '/' + substring(upper(fname),1,1) as sort_name,

    which in my case would return "KEEN/M"
    Hope this helps!
