generation of build op fails for incorrect operator =='
If condition with == works fine for all string constants but fails for decimal constants.

Here is the code

Code definition.
==============
char BLOCKA=' ';
char BLOCKB=' ';
==============

code - Per records
=======================
doTransfer(0);
BLOCKA = ' ';
BLOCKB = ' ';

if (CHD_EXTERNAL_STATUS == 'B')
{
BLOCKA = 'B';
BLOCKB = 'H';
}
else if (CHD_STATUS_REASON_CODE = 89)
#==> Here is where it fail, the data is decimal and is defined decimal in metadata;

{
BLOCKA = 'Z';
BLOCKB = 'H';

}
writeRecord(0);

==============================

Thanks

For a check you need two equal signs. You have only one ("else if (CHD_STATUS_REASON_CODE = 89)")

I have == it was not working too. I made mistake while writing post.

Do me a favour, dont type your code out, copy paste it from the buildop. This way we can see the actual code and compare it to the error message. Also surround your code in code tags please.

Here You Go...

===================================
Code definition.
==============
char BLOCKA=' ';
char BLOCKB=' ';

code - Per records
=======================
doTransfer(0);
BLOCKA = ' ';
BLOCKB = ' ';

if (CHD_EXTERNAL_STATUS == 'B')
{
BLOCKA = 'B';
BLOCKB = 'H';
}
else if (CHD_STATUS_REASON_CODE == 89)
#==> Here is where it fail, the data is decimal and is defined decimal in metadata;

{
BLOCKA = 'Z';
BLOCKB = 'H';

}
writeRecord(0);

I am not that experience in BuildOps, I go for routines. But instead of comparing with 89, specify a const float and initialize it with 89. Do your comparison with that variable. Also before you try that, try changing your data type to float and then run your code, unchanged, and see if the error persists. If it does, try the first suggestion I gave.

To what object does CHD_EXTERNAL_STATUS belong? Where have you declared this?
