[ic] The best How-To? An Approach for Displaying all Quantity Pricing Breaks

[Barry Treahy, Jr.]

I'm looking for the best 'How-To' approach on this, not necessarily 
asking for the coded details, though I would certainly not look a gift 
horse in the mouth...

Our new pricing system now has five pricing tiers whose quantity 
discount structure, which consists of 15 quantity breaks, is linked to 
each product.  Because each of our products have assigned one of these 
five different discount tiers, I had decided to create a table that has 
the tier codes along with the quantity code and the discount percentage 
for that quantity.  When a customer is viewing the flypage, I will have 
an additional link where by they can view the quantity pricing for that 
product, the question is what would be the best approach?

Since I already have the SKU, and therefore the tire code, I would like 
to pull the appropriate row from the tier table and walk the columns, 
without hardcoding each column in a loop, and present for each quantity 
break the discounted price...

In the past, with a single tier code, I did it manually with ITL and 
HTML, and it was ugly and hard to maintain, so I suspect that I'll be 
best off doing this all with talbes and embedded Perl but the looping 
and walking through the columns of a record, can that be done?  At least 
if I know it is possible, then I can forge ahead with figuring out the 
how....  

Regards,

Barry
