Garry,

You should call an intermediary script that will call zSQL.  Just repeat
<dtml-in getclassmembers> there as well   and match sequence-numbers  , eg
   mark = REQUEST.get('mark' + str(sequence-number))
  termark =   REQUEST.get('termark' + str(sequence-number))

Now you can call zsql like  zUpdate(studentID, mark,termark) ;
Sorry for the ugly pseudo code.

David
