DTLfetch not working with Variable
up vote

I have csv database loaded in data variable.
I am trying to fetch value from particular column given an another column name and its value.
I am using following code
forloop{i}{1}{value{i} < 30}
{
DTLfetch{data}{Number}{value{i}}{Day}
}
Above code works well when there is hard coded numerical value like 1,2,3,... but somehow it is not able to catch the value of argument value{i}. What am I not doing right?

The macro value gives the value of the counter as an internal integer.
This is fine if you compare it with another integer as in {value{i} < 30},
but for DTLfetch you need the representation of the number in arabic numerals,
not just some internal integer.
So you can use
forloop{i}{1}{value{i} < 30}
{
DTLfetch{data}{Number}{arabic{i}}{Day}
}
