Complex Expressions with True/False

[Jerry Thomas]

I need to perform a Complex Expression with part of the equation being a test for True / False, and I can't get syntax worked out.

Many thanks for a little bit of help!

For these values, the logic should drop into the loop.

Code: Select all

Let>XYZ=60
Let>Cnt=0
Let>State=True

While{(%State%=True)and(%Cnt%<XYZ>Cnt=10000
EndWhile

While{(%State%=TRUE)and(%Cnt%<XYZ>Cnt=20000
EndWhile

While{(%State%=%True%)and(%Cnt%<XYZ>Cnt=30000
EndWhile

While{(%State%=%TRUE%)and(%Cnt%<XYZ>Cnt=40000
EndWhile

//These next 2 generate errors "Line: 22 T not appropriate"
While{(%State%="True")and(%Cnt%<XYZ>Cnt=50000
EndWhile

//Error "Line: 27 T not appropriate"
While{(%State%="TRUE")and(%Cnt%<XYZ>Cnt=60000
EndWhile

MDL>cnt

Your code appears to be mangled.

However, you have the > missing after While. The first lot won't work because State is a variable assigned the STRING value "True".

This works:

Code: Select all

Let>State=True
Let>Cnt=0
Let>XYZ=60
While>{(%State%="True") and (%Cnt%<%XYZ%)}
  Let>Cnt=50000
EndWhile

BTW - I'm guessing that is the structure your code was meant to have before it was garbled but I may be wrong.

Thanks for not laughing (at least in your reply)

I was so focused on the quotes and syntax...

Many Thanks Marcus!
