Hi,
Can somebody help me to correct what is wrong in this code below?

<dtml-var expr="_.getitem(_.string.lower(date_code,1))">

date_code is a string value enter by the user by filling a form which i 
then reference as a DTML Method.

This worked perfectly before inserting the string function -<dtml-var 
expr="_.getitem(date_code,1)">
then the user will have to type the value in a lower case, this i 
considered to be rigid.

But after inserting the string function this is error msg i received
Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: read-only character buffer, tuple

Thanks.
