Incrementing Numeric Variable

tpreston · Post by **tpreston** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 7:05 pm

What am I doing wrong here? The following script never executes the contents of the ELSE statement?

LET DELAY_TIME=1
LABEL SCAN
IF DELAY_TIME(is less than)6
LET DELAY_TIME=DELAY_TIME+1
ELSE
MessageModal>RESETTING DELAY TIME.
LET DELAY_TIME=0
ENDIF
GOTO SCAN

Of course, the (is less than) is really the left arrow symbol, but when I try to use it in this forum the message format gets botched.

Please help - Tom

Try this:

Code: Select all

LET>DELAY_TIME=1
LABEL>SCAN
IF>%DELAY_TIME%<6
   LET>DELAY_TIME=%DELAY_TIME%+1
   ELSE
   MessageModal>RESETTING DELAY TIME.
   LET>DELAY_TIME=0
ENDIF
GOTO>SCAN
