OK, This have been driving me nuts...
request.photolist exists, and has phototag etc fields.
variables.thistag is also fine:
BUT, this code:

SELECT * from request.photolist WHERE phototag LIKE
Just a guess:
You might have an empty phototag value somewhere
Try
WHERE ( phototag) LIKE %#trim(variables.thistag)#%'
Or, try +phototag (not sure of syntax)
Does this fix the issue?

Let's say your hand is an array of structs, where each struct contains

I think it would be pretty complicated. You need to worry about suits as
