    We need more information. When you say support 88 levels in the template - we do not know what the requirement is.
    An 88 level could be used in
    1. Creating criteria for a layout. This raises questions
     1.1 Is it identification or selection criteria?
     1.2 If multiple fields - how is criteria to be interpreted - should expressions be ANDed.
    2. Create data, are 88 level values to be used to create data for the field?
    In short we do not know what is being requested - could you provide examples of how you think the 88 levels should be used
    in template processing.
