Complex If logic in BI Publisher report template

Question

Hi,
We are working on a fresh BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 install and are setting up a custom template.
We want to accomplish the following, but the template will not accept the logic.
In the ‘Reciever' field we want logic along the lines of:
If ssType like ‘*Ut’ and ssCaseClassification = ‘Skjerming’ and ssResponseType <> ‘Forward’ then ssRecipient = ‘***’ else ssRecipient
And in the ‘'Sender' field:
If ssType like ‘*Inn’ and ssCaseClassification = ‘Skjerming’ then ssSender = ‘***’ else ssSender
Please assist us on the correct syntax.
Also:
Is it possible to insert a page brake if the for-each ssAction is not completed on the page?
We have tried several logic variations to achieve this, such as:
<?xdofx:if (contains(ssType,’Ut’) and ssCaseClassification=’Skjerming’ and ssResponseType !=’Forward’) then ssRecipient=’***’ else ssRecipient end if?>
Are adding these by:
dobbel clicking the field in the template and adding the logic to the advanced tab in the popup (in word).
All have been unsuccessful

Hi,
I don't exactly have a solution to your problem, but I can tell you that "like" functionality is not available in the syntax you want. I had a quite similar requirement some time ago, I wanted to use "like" functionality but it seems like there is none. Finally, I accomplished the requirement using a function "Starts-With" ... e.g. instead of
<?if:Organization like 'ABC*'?> xxx <?end if?> (which will not work)
I used
<?if:starts-with(Organization,'ABC')?> xxx <?end if?>
Maybe it helps.
