Xlate IF Statement

[Jared Miller]

I am trying to accomplish the following in an Xlate:

If PV1-16 eq KAT THEN

                    PV1-16 -> PV1-16

ELSE

                    PV2-22 -> PV1-16

However, I am receiving the following errors when I try this:

[xpm :xlt :ERR /0:worksite_xlate] Unrecognized field name ‘Can’t locate segment in path.  KAT’

09/08/2005 14:44:16

[xpm :xlt :ERR /0:worksite_xlate] IF expression parse failed: Value references must yield exactly one datum

Error occurred at: ‘T’

09/08/2005 14:44:16

[xpm :xlt :ERR /0:worksite_xlate] Unable to compile XLT ‘X_StarLab_HL722_A01.xlt’.

09/08/2005 14:44:16

[xlt :xlat:ERR /0:worksite_xlate] [0.0.2132934] Xlate ‘X_StarLab_HL722_A01.xlt’ failed: Unable to load XLT ‘X_StarLab_HL722_A01.xlt’

Apparently I am adding in the IF statement wrong, but I’m not sure what’s wrong.  Can anyone offer up some assistance?  Thanks.

Assuming your reference to PV1:16 is correct my guess is that you left out the = in front of ‘KAT’ which would designate it as a string constant.

I guess the question is how should the IF statment look??  

I have – IF 0(0).PV1.00146.[0] eq KAT

I used the eq because I trying to compare a string and eq is under the string operators list.

It should look like –

IF 0(0).PV1.00146.[0] eq =KAT

Or better yet –

COPY =KAT -> @tmpkat

IF 0(0).PV1.00146.[0] eq @tmpkat

Thanks a bunch.  I used the temp variable way and it works perfectly.
