Here is what I put

if not empty(m.lcLogic)
		select Trans
		=seek(m.tcTrans_fk, 'Trans', 'cTrans_pk')
		try
			llReturn = evaluate(m.lcLogic)
		catch
			select cTrans_pk from Trans ;
			where cTrans_pk = m.tcTrans_fk ;
			and &lcLogic to screen noconsole
			llReturn = _tally = 1
		endtry	
	endif

Am I right?

Thanks again.
