Hi Danielle, and welcome.
Others have already replied to your post, and I'm going to reply with

Please help us to help you! We're not mind-readers, we need to see the

Hi Chris,
Yikes. I need to say that as, for disclosure: I work at Google. I do
not work on the App Engine team, but I need to acknowledge my
potential conflict-of-interest, and I apologize for not stating this
in my reply.

If I recall correctly it was one of several variants on DBase?
There were also Foxpro and others all sharing similar syntax.

Hi Steve,
In your conditionals:

JL’s code:

better at numbers than names. So they came up with some gimmicks to
convert names to numbers. It was probably something fancier than "a=1,
b=2, etc. Now let's add up all the letters of the person's name to
