IF function syntax

[Anonymous]

Hi,

The field 'class' has AAA and EAA, i would want to classify the records into ACCIDENT or ENGINEERING.

The syntax below didnot work. Please help

load *,

IF(LEFT(class,1)='A','ACCIDENT'),

IF(LEFT(class,1)='E','ENGINEERING') as Class_Name,

Try moving a parenthesis to the end:

IF(LEFT(class,1)='A','ACCIDENT', IF(LEFT(class,1)='E','ENGINEERING')) as Class_Name,
