[Active4d-dev] If/Case statement question

[Christian Cypert]

OK, I've been staring at this code now for a day and I'm going 
cross-eyed. This I would think would be a simple task, but for some 
reason I cannot get the code to execute correctly. Below is an If 
statement followed by a conversion to a Case statement. This has got to 
be something simple, but when the code executes if the second condition 
in the If or Case is true the statements still fail.

If "get session("employee_name")#[Customer]ITSName))" is true in either 
of the statements below I always get a false reading. I've compared the 
strings with the "compare strings" command in Active4D and it returns a 
0. I've displayed the values of both on screen and they appear 
identical. Does anyone see something I've glossed over?

 <% if((get session("employee_name")#[Customer]OTSName)|(get 
session("employee_name")#[Customer]ITSName)) %>
 	<td align="left"><% write([Customer]Number) %></td>
<% else %>
   	<td align="left"> <b><a href="<% =makeLinkCustomer %>"> <% 
write([Customer]Number) %></a></b></td>
<% end if %>
   	
   	
<% case of %>
	<% : (get session("employee_name")#[Customer]OTSName) %>
    	 	<td align="left"><% write([Customer]Number) %></td>
    	<% : (get session("employee_name")#[Customer]ITSName) %>
   		 <td align="left"><% write([Customer]Number) %></td>
<% else %>
   	 <td align="left"> <b><a href="<% =makeLinkCustomer %>"> <% 
write([Customer]Number) %></a></b></td>
<% end case %>

 A common mistake that people make when trying to design something 
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete 
fools.
