In a case like this, where @IF is not precise enough, I would bring that
into JavaScript and let it do a string comparison, ie something *like *this:
<@ASSIGN tmpVar <@ARG theValue>>
<@SCRIPT>
var strTheValue = server.GetVariable('tmpVar');
if (strTheValue == '00') {
server.assignVariable('tmpFlag','1');
} else {
server.assignVariable('tmpFlag','1');
}
</@SCRIPT>
<@IF @@tmpFlag>....
