style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I’m having a
hard time understanding
the syntax in the conditional or left hand side of the DRL. Is it
acceptable to use dot notation in the LHS? Is there a better way to
compare fields on different objects? </span></font></p>

example below, I get an error “Unable

hand side? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at
all the examples and have googled the problem and don’t seem to find
the
answer.</span></font></p>
