Reference static parameter description in formula?

[TomRand]

Crystal 11, Release 2. Is there a way to reference the static parameter description field in a formula?
Parameter Description
DEPUTY/SWORN/FT Full Time Position
JAIL/SWORN/FT Full Time Position
TRANSP/JAIL/FT Full Time Position
CLERK/SWORN/FT Full Time Position
DEPUTY/SWORN/PT Part Time Position
JAIL/SWORN/PT Part Time Position

The description will determine the wording of the output. I know I could use the last 2 characters of the parameter, but there should be a means to reference the description.

Thanks,
Tom

There isn't really. You can hard code it in a formula or if it is a field in a table, you can insert a subreport that uses the parameter value for selection and then display the description field. If this is a single value parameter, then you could just use:

if right({?Parm},2) = "FT" then
"Full-time Position" else
if right({?Parm},2) = "PT" then
"Part-time Position"
