If Statement/Operator Question

[Jan Schenkel]

Try using the 'value' or 'merge' functions to evaluate such dynamic expressions.
##
put "(item tField1 of line x of tdata)" && tCondition1 && "(field " & quote & "S1 Compare 1 Field" & quote & ")") into tExpression
if value(tExpression) is true then...
