Multiple IF result statements

[NGonz]

Hello All,

I'm sure there is a way for an IF statement (using Crystal syntax) to have multiple results.
For example:
If <True> then
Do step 1
Do step 2
Else
If . . .

I'm sure this can be done I'm just missing something. I've tried a few different things but don't get the results I want (actually I get errors). Does anybody have any suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
NGonz

Depends on what you mean by &quot;do something&quot; since the only action that can be taken by a formula is to modify a variable value.

If you are making assignments to variables in CR syntax see my FAQ on common formulas. It will show you how to make multiple assignments in one If-Then step.

Otherwise, CR Formulas simply calculate a value, and they can't calculate 2 different values, just one.

Post an example of your formula if you need more help. Ken Hamady

Hi NGonz,

I presume what you are looking for is:-

If a=b then (do1;do2;do3)
else do4;

The basic principal is to add brackets round the complete expression with semi-colons between each command.

Thanks to both of you.
That's exactly what I was looking for. I don't recall seeing this explained in the manual.

Thanks again,
