Topic: All Designations UDF

Hi I've taken the plunge and done the latest updates to 6.18 and the dictionary updates [basically for corrections to the status] and find species have both gained and lost status.

Falco Columbarius is Bern-A2, Bird-Amber, BirdsDir-A1, CMS_A2, SERC LBAP: 2009, SERC Notable

but in the dictionary browser it has many more.

Alcedo atthis is Bern-A2, Bird-Amber, BirdsDir-A1, SERC LBAP: 2009, SERC Notable

and in the dictionary has more.

There are no WCA entries for these for a start.

I'm also puzzled that I have two entries for 'JNCC collation of taxon designations' one which does nothing in the taxon dictionary browser detail page.

Any ideas beyond going back to paper?
Irony being that a primary reason to use R6 was for the status information if that is always wrong it does make one wonder.

Check the sql in the UDF Tony, but I think you'll find the statuses not being returned have passed their use-by date (i.e. the end date is set)

Thanks Rob but I've looked in ufn_GetDesignations and can see no mention of dates.

Re: All Designations UDF

I found the problem part of the problem was having to use a Taxon Designation Set. Which one can only see in the back end and it's not mad easy. Hey ho

The other problem is not from me and is about the Wildlife and Countryside Act
