If Else problem

[myukassign]

Sry to ask a simple doubt here, but i am in a desparate need for a solution.

I am writing a routine (Transform)

The folloing code is working fine

Routine 1
=======

Ans=""

Name="ABCD"

If (Name Match "0N") Then Ans= Name Else Ans=""

Return(Ans)


But the following is not working

Routine 2
=======

Ans=""

Name="ABCD"

If (Name Match "0N") Then
Ans= Name
Else
Ans=""

Return(Ans)


Wht is the problem here? I want to give multiple statements if the condition is true but it is not allowing me to do the second routine.

Can anyone help?

Confusing. I don't see any evidence that you are attempting 'multiple statements' in an if. Can you clarify? And your problem is - won't compile? Doesn't work as expected?

If "Then" or "Else" is the last word on its line then it opens a block of statements that must be terminated by an End statement.

Code: Select all

Ans="" 

Name="ABCD" 

If (Name Match "0N") Then 
   Ans= Name 
End
Else 
   Ans="" 
End

Return(Ans) 

or equivalently,

Code: Select all

Ans="" 

Name="ABCD" 

If (Name Match "0N") 
Then 
   Ans= Name 
End
Else 
   Ans="" 
End

Return(Ans) 

This is called "multi-line format" of the IF statement.

Ok, see that now. As noted, that's what happens when you move away from a 'one line' statement.
