problem with if in scripting

Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:20:16 GMT

hi,

i have this if structure in my qvd generator qvw file

if vAction=0 then

if ...

else

.....

End If

if......

else

end if

End if

if vAction=-1 then

if ...

else

.....

End If

if......

else

end if

End if

let's will said that vAction=-1, it should jump to the second condition but i don't know why it's continuing in the else inside the false condition (3rd line in example structure)

i've checked the code and the structure a lot of times but i cant find why it happening this...

what could be the problem??

What you have is two completely separate Nested If statements, so it is working correctly. Your line three is running when Lines 1 and 2 have evaluated false and because it is an else statement runs for any value not already caught by lines 1 and 2. Depending on what you need to do, you need to re-structure your statements.

Carlos,

Are you sure about the value of vAction ? You can nest several if statements without any problem.

Did you trace it through the debugger ?

hi flipside,

i need to run several if conditions depending of a bigger condition (vAction) something like a case statement

simplifying the question...

how i could do a case statement in Qlikview?

end switch
