Unrecongnizable Lexical token error – IF Statement ct a /

[Lynelle Harper]

Hi –

I’m trying to do an IF statement that contains a slash, then copy if true

Cloverleaf v6.1.2

IF 2(0).1.(0).RXE(0).#5(0).[0]   ct =/

copy     2(0).1(0).RXC(0).#3(0).[0] ->2(0).1(0).RXE(0).#3(0).[0]

I’ve tried variations but I keep getting the Lexical error

Thanks in advance

Did you escape it?  ct =\/

[Lynelle Harper]

Yes, with the same results –

[0:TEST] IF expression parse failed: Unrecognizable lexical token
Error occurred at: ‘\/’
[0:TEST] Unable to compile XLT ‘Epic_Orders_to_PyxisES.xlt’.

I can get past the error if I copy \/ to a variable

copy =\/ -> @RXE_5_Slash

but then my copy stmt doesnt copy as expected. I’ll have to go back and check my test file. Not sure what else to check.

IF   2(0).1(0).RXE(0).#5(0).[0] ct @RXE_5_Slash

COPY 2(0).1(0).RXC(0).#3(0).[0] -> 2(0).1(0).RXE(0).#3(0).[0]

What release of CL?

Try COPY =/ to a temp variable then use the Temp Variable in the IF in place of the =/ and see if that takes care of the issue.

You should not have to do this but in some releases of Cloverleaf that was necessary. Hopefully this is not happening in the newest release of Cloverleaf.

ok, after posting and then seeing Jim’s response, I removed the escape and just did a copy to the variable as copy =/

That worked.

Cloverleaf v 6.1.2

Thanks so much!
