testx="Dnnn-Data-Item XX aaaaaaaaa or
testx="Dnnn-Data-Item XX [fff,]Dnnn-Data-Item"

This attributes undertakes a test on the stated data item in the current file, or in the file referenced by a prior dfd attribute. Up to five such tests can be stated as attributes to any one element, so that "testx” can take the value of test1, test2, test3 etc for each one. Only if all the tests defined are true is that element processed. The comparison can either be against a stated value "aaaaaaaa” or against an item in the same database or in a lookup database noted with the value "fff”. If used, fff can refer only to the accumulator file (ACC) or to the constants database (CON). These tests are similar to the tests used within ProFiler user-defined report control definitions. "XX” represents one of the following test conditions: "E” for equals, "NE” for does not equal, "B” for blank value, and "NB” for not blank.
