That will be the last time, I answer to your MIME messages.

	<dtml-call REQUEST['sqlSearchcust3']>

will raise an exception, as it will look for
an object with name "REQUEST['sqlSearchcust3']".

What you want is:

        <dtml-call expr="REQUEST['sqlSearchcust3']">

This does nothing (maybe raises a KeyError 'sqlSearchcust3'),
as "dtml-call" evaluates for side effects only and
does not produce any text. "REQUEST['sqlSearchcust3']"
does not have side effects.

Now, "<dtml-in sqlSearchcust3>...</dtml-in>" may also do nothing.
Though, this is usually not expected.


I suggest, you read carefully the DTML chapter in the
upcoming Zope book and try to understand the semantics
of the various DTML tags.
