I have a CALS format table that I cannot get alignment to work properly. I have the attributes for the table defined and handled in the R/W rules file (posted below). I have code in the EDD to look at the TGROUP tag align attribute and to apply an initial table format appropriate to the attribute (also posted below). There are 3 test conditions for left/center and right attribute values, then an else on the off chance that the attribute is not specified. The system always chooses the ELSE condition regardless of the value of the align attribute. I have tried different cases on the attribute value and I have tried different quotes on in the EDD around the attribute value. Nothing works. It seems like this should be simple. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for any help...
