I stared at that about ten times to make sure those names were the
same. Since they are, why didn't you just do this?
<tr id="trcol[% IF loop.count % 2; "1"; ELSE; "2"; END %]">
<td>[% report.DSTRCT_CODE %]</td>
<td>[% report.WORK_ORDER %]</td>
<td>[% report.CREATION_DATE %]</td>
<td>[% report.LAST_MOD_DATE %]</td>
<td>[% report.ORIGINATOR_ID %]</td>
<td>[% report.SURNAME %]</td>
<td>[% report.FIRST_NAME %]</td>
</tr>
Much easier to maintain!
The point of a template is to write the things once, and vary the parts
that vary. Cut-n-paste is evil, Evil, EVIL!
