[RBG7-L] - Re: IF... THEN query

[David M. Blocker]

Alastair   Either is fine, but it depends on the logic   For example, if x=1 and y=2 you do one action, but if x=1 and y <>2  you do a different, you'd do this:   IF X = 1 THEN   IF Y = 2 THEN     -- actions for x=1 and y=2   ELSE    -- actions for x=1 and y<>2   ENDIF ENDIF   But if the actions are ONLY done if both conditions are met and there is no alternative action, then this is fine   IF X = 1 AND Y = 2 THEN   -- actions ENDIF   David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: Alastair Burr To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 1:44 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - IF... THEN query Is it permissible to combine conditions with AND in the statement like this:   IF x=1 AND y=2 THEN ... ENDIF   or is it better to break it into two parts:   IF x=1 THEN   IF y=2 THEN ...   ENDIF ENDIF   I don't remember having any problems in the past but one particular piece of code seems only to work the second way at the moment and I can't find any other error.   (This is an error that's been around for a while so it's not an upgrade problem.)   Regards, Alastair.   ---------------------------------- A D B Burr, St. Albans, UK. ---------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------
