Xlate IF variable

[Todd Yingling]

I am trying to use a variable in an IF statement in an xlate.

You should not encounter a problem with the @ symbol in an IF statement.  You should be able to access it with something like:

IF 0(0).PV1.00133.[0] eq @null

The syntax does not require an = sign before the variable name.  

Can you give us an example of how you are attempting to access it?

Thanks….

Thanks Tom.  I was using the = sign.  I removed that and it works fine now.  

Thanks again,

Hi All Experts

If say, I have a few variable and the only different is the suffix number, for example, Rad_Display_info1, Rad_Display_info2, Rad_Display_info3, I think more efficiently is to check IF Rad_Display_info* then empty…how to let the engine recognise this wild card?

I have this error when I run the tester

[0:TEST] IF expression parse failed: Unrecognizable lexical token

Error occurred at: ‘*’

You may be able to iterate through this with a list basis.  Do you have an example of the segments or fields you are trying to search through?

Thanks…

Thanks for the reply….

I choose the ge so that any string equal or greater than the Rad_Display_info is catered for and its working..

I iterate the OBX as a group of segment
