I am using and If action in an Xlate I am creating. The If condition is:

0(0).OBX(0).00584 eq =SYSTEM GENERATED

When I run this through the route tester, I get the error:

[xpm :xlt :ERR /0: UNNAMED_TID] IF expression parse failed: Extra characters after expression

Error occurred at: ‘D’

Anyone know why? I have tried

=(SYSTEM GENERATED)

=’SYSTEM GENERATED’

=”SYSTEM GENERATED”

All with the same result. What is the trick to using multiple word condition?

  The simpliest thing to do here is put the comparison in a temp values and use it. For example copy SYSTEM GENERATE -> @comp
  
  Then 0(0).OBX(0).00584 eq @comp
  
  will work.
  
  Unfortunatly the parser in the IF statement does not parse embedded spaces very well.

  Thanks,
  
  I tried this and it works. Seems like extra code but if it works it works.
