The Items table is not well normalized, it has 6 columns for profit centers and 28 for prices. In any case, that is how it's defined and it's not going to change overnight, so I'm working with what I have.

I know the syntax Thierry mentioned. Do you mean I should have written the check using a loop instead?

>Even then, having variable item.prCtr1 .. item.prCtr6 in an object smells like repeating values of a record, with all the arguments of data normalizition speaking against it - are you certain that those profit centers would not be better represented in a list-like structure instead of properties with number mangling in the property name ? In Javascript probably easiest as a stack or queue, which could be expressed as a collection/array, while linked lists seem a better fit for languages where you handle memory (pointers) yourself
