Strange problem (or still asleep)

2001-05-15 Thread David Baskin 

Hello, i'm running the code below and i'm not getting the expected results.
i'm passing in a variable with the length of 5 so i would expect that the
errorString would not be appended, but in fact it is. The same thing happens
when i pass in a variable with the length of 9. I can't seem to figure out
why this is happening. Can anyone help? Sorry if this is way basic.

david

code:

script

}else if((LEN(cleanZipcode) NEQ 5) OR (LEN(cleanZipcode) NEQ 9)){
errorString = ListAppend(errorString, Please enter a valid
zipcode (too long/short), |);
errorFlags = ListAppend(errorFlags, zp, |);

/script

Not sure but trim the variable to make sure it's not carrying the spaces.

Looks like an early morning thing :)

OR will evaluate to TRUE if either of the two statements evaluate to
true...looking at your else if then, the only time this will evaluate
to FALSE, is if cleanZipcode is BOTH 9 AND 5 at the same timeand that'd
be something :)

Try an AND in there instead.

Your logic is incorrect.

A number will ALWAYS be either NEQ 9 or NEQ 5.  Use an AND operator rather than an OR 
operator.

Logic Problem.

if  (LEN(cleanZipcide) NEQ 5) OR (Len(cleanZipcode) NEQ 9).

cleanZipcode = 5F ORT
cleanZipcode = 9T OR   F
cleanZipcode = 7TOR   T

This statement is always true.

Try writing for the positive instead of the negative.
Happy Day!
Doug

RE: Strange problem (or still asleep)

2001-05-15 Thread Jann VanOver 

No, you're not still asleep, just bitten by the boolean bug.

Look at your statement:
 if((LEN(cleanZipcode) NEQ 5) OR (LEN(cleanZipcode) NEQ 9))
 { report error }

This says, if the length is not 5 or if the length is not 9, report the
error.  To get past this, the length of the variable would have to be 5 AND
9!!  

In short, change your OR to an AND to fix the problem.

that OR should be an AND.  something can't be BOTH 5 and 9 at the same time.

2001-05-15 Thread Bryan Love 

it's the OR statement.

(LEN(cleanZipcode) NEQ 5) OR (LEN(cleanZipcode) NEQ 9)
will ALWAYS evaluate to true because if the string is 5 characters long then
(...NEQ 9) will be true and if the string is 9 characters long then (...NEQ
5) will be true.
