my question is why is the OP doing an lc() on a fixed string? and which
is already lower case! someone mentioned a possible eval but that still
makes little sense as it would seem to need to generate that code and
hardwiring a statename as the arg is odd. me thinks we need to see more
code to really get to the reason for this.
