hmmm, i wondering fc's value is numeric or string.  it can
be devilishly hard to tell if a ci variable is numeric or string
simply be looking at it.  i'd suggest going one step
farther and doing this:
  :setvar my_test typeof(!fc)
  :showvar my_test
0 = not set/available, 1 = integer, 2 = string, 3 = boolean
