If Statements

[Rich]

I have an IF statement that has a space in the condition.  I’m just confirming that I put single quotes around the condition like so:

2(0).3(0).0(0).AIL(0).#3(0).[0] ne =’CLINIC SCREENING’

 

Thank you all!

I’ve always had issues when I have a literal with spaces I’m trying to compare to so what I’ve gotten into the habit of doing is copying the literal to a variable (I would use @lit_clinic_screening in this case), then have the if statement compare to that variable:

2(0).3(0).0(0).AIL(0).#3(0).[0] ne @lit_clinic_screening

Thank you, Paul, that’ll work!
