The following code is of a routine :
***************Routine Start***************

Ans = VAL

***********ROUTINE END******************

When i'm giving value of BUSINESS_FG = "G" and PLAN_CD1 = "CAT"(i,e not equal to CES) then OUTPUT:AT instead of DM
It's not going to the ELSE part.
When i gave BUSINESS_FG = "G" and PLAN_CD1 = "Cd" (i,e. some value other than "CAT") then OUTPUT:DM (correct)

I don't know why this strange thing is happening..

Please help me out..

Please try using the "code" tags to make the program legible. I would suggest that you put "PRINT" statements in to ensure that the values are as you expect before the IF-THEN-ELSE parts.

That looks to be controlled by RIDER_FORM_CD, who's value you haven't mentioned.

Print out your code and "bench test" it. Using a pencil trace your way through the various pieces of logic in the code for particular values of the variables. Make sure also that every path through the logic assignes a value to the variable called VAL.

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2008 4:30 pm**

Are you sure your input = 'G' and not 'G ' or some other hidden character?

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2008 11:34 pm**

Chulett
RIDER_FORM_CD is BLANK..
I've checked the code and it's flow it's correct.

I don't know what the problem..

Can anybody provide an alternate solution to this..

Ok then - your input is hitting the 2nd part of the code. This means that your input for BUSINESS_FG cannot be 'G' else it would have picked up the first bit of code. Check the input for spaces, non printing characters etc.

I checked Shane, when i kept the same value as BUSINESS_FG = "G" and change only the PLAN_CD1 value for e.g. PLAN_CD1 ="CA" (Other than "CAT" and "CES") then i'm getting the correct output as "DM".

If the problem is with the BUSINESS_FG = "G" then i won't get as "DM"

Please help me out..

Posted: **Wed Mar 19, 2008 1:25 am**

Does it work correctly when BUSINESS_FG = 'U'?

Just dry run the routine
as you said

When i'm giving value of BUSINESS_FG = "G" and PLAN_CD1 = "CAT"(i,e not equal to CES) then OUTPUT:AT instead of DM
It's not going to the ELSE part.
When i gave BUSINESS_FG = "G" and PLAN_CD1 = "Cd" (i,e. some value other than "CAT") then OUTPUT:DM (correct)

Code: Select all

***********ROUTINE END******************

As Chulett said its driven by the another part

In second part you can define like

If VAL <> 'DM' then VAL='AT'

I am going through it once again to find out if I have done any mistake
You can also try a dry run as Ray said.

It's not working for BUSINESS_FG = 'U' also

Posted: **Wed Mar 19, 2008 2:09 am**

Mohammed - please, try putting "PRINT" statements in your job to debug it, right before the offending "IF" statements so that you can see what values are being used.

Once again its the same problem.

Go through the code

Code: Select all

IF (PLAN_CD1 = "CAT" OR PLAN_CD2 = "CAT") THEN 
   IF ( RIDER_FORM_CD = "ES" OR RIDER_FORM_CD = "09" )  THEN 
      VAL = "AH" 
   END 
   ELSE 
      VAL = "AT" 
   END 
END

This code overwrites the value you want

Change the condition with proper condition.

Putting this condition at proper place may also resolve you problem.

Thanks priyadarshikunal for the help.
I change the order of the IF statements.

Now it's coming properly..
