Here is my next problem ... I have a variable called ProgCode. That is where I
store the College Program I want to look up information on (eg. T043). Now all
the dtml documents associated with program T043 have T043 as the base of their
name and then the names have extra characters (eg. T043PIC is the picture
associated with the T043 program). So what I want to do is append the letters
PIC to the variable ProgCode and then test to see if the file exists.
Here is one thought I have had so far but it does not work.
<dtml-if "_.getitem(ProgCode+'PIC')">
 <IMG SRC=/Programs/(ProgCode+'PIC') ALIGN=RIGHT>
</dtml-if>
