I think I figured it out, all you late risers.  :)  Almost . . .

I drilled down to the lower sub-field and entered a boolean expression
(which used both sub-fields), which returns 0 or 1 in X.  Then, at the next
prompt, I can work with X.  Now I just need to figure out how to suppress
the printing of the 0's and print only the 1's.  If I mess with the boolean
at all, it doesn't like it (I get ?? back.).  Right now I have
SUB-FIELD=SUB-FIELD for the boolean, and when I try something like I
(SUB-FIELD=SUB-FIELD)=1 W "MORE INFO", it blows up.  Any ideas.  Thanks
again in advance.

Subject: [Hardhats-members] Template Question


I'm building a print template and want to compare the values of two
sub-fields in the same file.  One sub-field is one level down in "multiple
A", while the other is two levels down in "multiple A."  If they are the
same, I want to print both fields; if different, then print nothing.  The
problem lies in knowing what to write at the "AND THEN FIELD:" prompt.  If
this were pointer-related instead of sub-field-related, I would write
something like (A:B=A:C:D) and then do something with the return value of 0
or 1.  I guess what I'm asking is what syntax do I use to define and
evaluate sub-fields within a print template.  Thanks in advance for any
light you can shed on this.
