IF and ELSE statement

[akar33]

Hello,
I am trying to make the following if and else statement work as follows. Actual value (field name TEST) is String.

Actual Value (TEST) Converted Value
abc 11
xyz 12
bab 23
13 ERROR

else
whatever is in the field TEST

Thanks

The Select control structure would be cleaner for this:

select {table.test}
case "abc" : "11"
case "xyz" : "12"
case "bab" : "23"
case "13" : "ERROR"
default : {table.test}

Hello!
I would agree with Brian on this...that Select/Case is better for this type of selection...
It is possible to use Nested If/Then/Else but the process of writting this is tedious and will take longer that the nice Case select listed above!

Thanks Brian, you can tell new to crystal, used select in C++ but never thought of using in crystal
