Fomatted Search Error on AR Invoice

Question

I'm having trouble with the following Formatted search:
SELECT T0.[SLPCODE], T0.[SLPNAME] FROM OSLP T0 WHERE $[$20.0.0] = -1 ORDER BY T0.[SLPNAME]
Any time I use the reference $[20.0.0] tot he Sales Person field instead of $[OINV.Slscode.0] it errors out. the formatted search is assigned to a UDF that allows the user to add a second sales person to the screen but I only want to let them do so if the Sales person assinged to the Invoice is  "-No Sales Employee-", for which the Slscode is -1.  In order to use the same formatted search on the Quote/Order/Invoice i need to referece the Sales person field by it's index.
Also, in my udf I would like to Store the code but display the name.  Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,

Where is the UDF defined? is it on the marketing documents header ...
Storing the Code and displaying the name would not be possible unless the table is a User Table.  The Sales Person (OSLP) table is a system table
You do not need to reference the $\[$20.x.x, you can simply have it as
SELECT T0.SlpName, T0.SlpCode FROM [dbo].[OSLP] T0
ORDER BY T0.SlpName
