Regex? e.g.

  if (&User-Name =~ /^\d+$/) {
  }

Re-reading Alan's message, he's right - leave the standard table
as-is and just add a new table with a cross-reference to lookup,
and set Stripped-User-Name to whichever is the canonical username.

So *something* like (off the top of my head, probably some syntax
errors)

if (&User-Name =~ /^\d+$/) {
  update request {
    Stripped-User-Name := &User-Name
  }
}
else {
  update request {
    Stripped-User-Name := %{sql:select serial from usertable where username = '%{User-Name}';}
  }
}

Then look up Stripped-User-Name in your normal sql tables.
