[kh99]

The exact meaning of {vb:raw entry.field97} depends on which template it's from. If I had to guess, I'd say you could try this:

global $entry;
$section1 = $entry['field97'];

but it's unlikely that it will work. You need to figure out where that value comes from and if it's available on your vbdynamics page (I don't know anything about vbdynamics). It's possible that the value you need hasn't even been set when your vbdynamics code runs, in which case you'd need to figure out how to get it yourself.
