Hi,

sorry not being more involved in the discussions on the ML.. it is a very
intense period for me.. :D But I am always here to help..

Coming to the problem..

The code that performs the evaluation of the EXEC:: is located in the
lib/request-utils.lib at line 169 - you are trying to execute
code passing parameters that are really variables.. this is not supported
in the EXEC code..you may need to modify the eval expression there...

Have you tried to pass the $VAR_NAME directly instead of using a function
to concatenate the values ? I am not sure it would work.. but something
like:
...
<value>$ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_FIRSTNAME $ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_MIDDLEINITIAL \
$ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_LASTNAME,$ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_SUFFIX</value>
...

I do not know if those values are actually exported as variables...

For this to work, you might need to change the code (lines 186-192) to
something like:

} else {
my $newVal = undef;
my $origVal = undef;

$origVal = $tmpVal;
foreach my $l ( $origVal =~ /\$([^\s]+)/g ) {
         $newVal = $query->param("$l");
if( $newVal eq "" ) {
$newVal = (eval $$l);
}

         $value[$t] =~ s/(\$$l)/$newVal/;
}
}

Let me know if this works... :D

Ciao,
Max
