small test database (four records, four fields each record)
Conditional text that should be printed (included) based on a database field
followed by a database field that happens to by empty is not included. Problem
does not occur in 6.0 (which has a different problem that appears to have been
reported) but occurs in 6.1.4.2 and all versions thereafter (including 6.3.0.0
alpha). I do not know which version between 6.0 and 6.1.4.2 the problem arises
in — haven't checked. Attached are three documents: a very small database, a
label template, and the result of merging the db into the template. In short,
the output should look something like
C1 C2
field B
C3 C4
field B
but what it produces (in the versions with the bug) is
C1 C2
B
C3 C4
field B
"field" is conditional text base on whether a particular db field is empty or
not;
following ir is the field "B" which is "B" in some records and empty in others.
