Simple string comparison not working

There must be something I'm missing about comparing strings. Why doesn't this code work right?

IF>

Code: Select all

Let>v1=13591P003
Let>v2=26113P001
If v1=v2
   messagemodal>same
Else
   messagemodal>different
Endif

The correct syntax for the If command is:

If>v1=v2

So your code should be:

Code: Select all

Let>v1=13591P003
Let>v2=26113P001
If>v1=v2
   messagemodal>same
Else
   messagemodal>different
Endif

Thanks, Marcus. I had just gone back to fundamentals , and used the command reference to insert the If statement and realized what was missing.
