Using GetDispValue with Crystal V7

[DonnaB]

I'm trying to run the formula detailed below, but an error message of "A number, currency amount, boolean, or string is expected here." appears, with the cursor placed after "else" in the formula.

IF {CLM_PAYMENT.PAYCATEGORY} = '03' then
"Weekly Compensation"
else
GetDispValue ("PAYTYPE",{CLM_PAYMENT.PAYTYPE})

Could this be related to the version of cystal I am using?

Do you get an eror if you just use the following formula?

GetDispValue ("PAYTYPE",{CLM_PAYMENT.PAYTYPE})



Does this formula return character values? Ken Hamady
