I’m trying to trace an XLT and one part I get stuck at is there’s an IF statement that’s doing a xlateStrLength on what looks like a normal 3 character string but for whatever reason, it’s going down the ELSE path which leads me to think the xlateStrLength isn’t working… has anyone run into this? Or am I crazy?

thanks!

  There’s an xlateStrLength inside the actual IF statement? Don’t think that will work.
  If a complex IF statement is needed then do the computation beforehand with a COPY and put the result (Y/N) in a @result variable. Then check in the IF whether @result eq =Y.

    sorry, should’ve clarified, it’s not in the actual IF statement, it’s setup like you described
    
    basically, it’s saying @result eq=N when I’m expecting it to be Y

  Be sure there is a space between eq and =
  
  value eq =Y
  
  That’s bitten me a few times.
