Hello, I am building an address with a paragraph text box using local variables from a fixed length data source. I am trying to display the address with the zip + four when the value of the "plus_four" field does not equal 0 or is empty. It should display as follows:

Fname Lname
Address
City, State ZIP-plus four

What is the best way to achieve this?

Bonjour / Hello!

Why don't you create a global variable and under "PressTalk before" of your text box
do an IF statement for your verification and set your variable accordingly.

This way you just need to use your global variable within your "text box"

I am not sure that I completely understand what you are asking me to do?
