I guess I meant, send a revision without the macros, along
with the output, to ensure that it is not a macro assignment
problem. But this does not do what your original code did; there
is the mysterious -var3-, and now you are replacing -var1- instead
of -var2-.
The best way to get help from this list is to provide the simplest
piece of code which produces an error/problem, along with actual
data for which the problem occurs. It is not worth anyone's time
to try guessing whether local E is really assigned to var1, or
whether you really mean -var3- is the same as _id.
