[pilot-db-list] proper way to test boolean fields in scripts

[Jurrie L. <jur...@ya...>]

So, what's "the right way" to test boolean fields in
scripts?

I find that if I only need to filter on a boolean
field that "(seq %5 1)" works just fine. However, this
does not work if I add additional conditions.

Then there's the "(!(! %5))" notation that seems to
work some of the time.

And lastly there's "(test %5 (other stuff) 0)"

scripts.txt does not show an operator to test if a
boolean is set (oposite of "!").  The document
indicates that booleans can be treated as integers,
yet
"(eq 1 %5)" doesn't appear to work.

Am I missing something?

thanks,

jurrie
