help with if

[Kevin Crist]

i am sure this is something simple but it’s driving me nuts. The below only allows the first part of the statement through, patient service of WND but kills the next part, HBO. How can i set this so that it continues both the WND and HBO?  

#########################################################################################

# If the PV1-10 != WND or HBO then KILL the message

# else

# CONTIUNE the message

#########################################################################################

 if {![string equal $patservice WND] || [string equal $patservice HBO]} {

set dispList

 

     

   }

thanks for any help.

Kevin,

I’m assuming that you want to kill everything other than messages with WND or HBO in PV1:10.  If that is the case, than I think you need to change the logic to:

if {![string equal $patservice WND] && ![string equal $patservice HBO]} {

  set dispList

}

or you could do this:

set dispList

if {[string equal $patservice WND] || [string equal $patservice HBO]} {

  set dispList

}

Your original statement would be true no matter what, because there was no ! in front of the 2nd condition

Hope this helps.
