multiple stmts in if else loop

[KhushiRaina]

Hi ALL,
I need to execute more than one stmt in the if else loop
For Eg:-

numberVar cnt1;
stringVar emps;

if cnt1 < 3 then
emps:=emps + {EMPLOYEE.FIRSTNAME} + &quot;,&quot;;
cnt1 := cnt1 + 1 ;
else
emps:=emps + {EMPLOYEE.FIRSTNAME} ;
With this formula i get error 'remaining text does not appear to be part of formula'
How to incorporate multiple stms in if-else loop.Pls any help is most welcome...looking forward for some solution..

Regds,
Khushi

The ';' terminates the IF statement.

Change the word 'else' to 'If cnt1 > 3 Then'

That should be 'If cnt1 >= 3 Then'

You need to use parentheses

numberVar cnt1;
stringVar emps;

if cnt1 < 3 then
(
cnt1 := cnt1 + 1 ;
emps:=emps + {EMPLOYEE.FIRSTNAME} + &quot;,&quot;;
)
else
emps:=emps + {EMPLOYEE.FIRSTNAME} ;

you will note that I also changed the order of the statements. Crystal likes the result of each if-then-else block to be of the same data type...and that is determined by the last operation in a block...so in this case they should both be strings.
