Thanks Jason. Unfortunately, I tried that and it didn't work. The docs say
the [if-item-field] is a simple test of whether or not the field is empty.
No ability to place a condition. Also, there is no elsif contruct. Here's my
take: we're in a loop, there must be a reference to the current item in
order for things like the [if-item-field] to work. How can I test a field
value with a condition? I shouldn't need to use [if data table::field::key]
because we have a reference to the item, and this code is not even aware of
the table it is in (one of the specified product tables). I will if that's
what it takes, but I think it's a bit weak. I can echo the value with
[item-field dl_type], so I ought to be able to do a compare on it. Or maybe
I should use a scratch variable... [set somevar][item_field dl_type][/set]
[if scratch somevar =~ /pattern/]...?
