[ic] [if scratch...]

[Mat Jones - booksellersolutions.com]

I was trouble shooting for 2 hours yesterday. I printed the value of scratch
count1 to the page which was 30.  When I replaced the [scratch count1] with
a real number e.g [loop-alternate 30] instead of [loop-alternate [scratch
count1]]  it worked fine... just doesnt seem to like the [scratch] variables
within loop alternate.
