Hi, Josef!
Thank you for your help but I think your aproach is a little complicate
I'm asking for this because it seems to be the simplest way (at least in 
my brain)

I prefer the new aproach I'm searching for (see "How to create a new TAL 
statement?" thread)

But thank you so much for your idea!!!
