      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.
