Greetings,
We are using SUPRTOOL 4.2 and I am trying to do a simple IF statement.
Something like this;
IF DEGREE=02 THEN
EXTRACT "BACHELORS"
ELSE
EXTRACT "MASTERS"
I've actually never been able to use the ELSE statement in SUPRTOOL, but the
program seems to be aware that ELSE is a valid command...or is it? When
just typing ELSE and pressing <return>, SUPRTOOL tells me that there is no
corresponding IF. According to the 4.2 manual, page 183, the proper syntax
is;
IF <EXPRESSION> THEN
"do this"
ELSE
"do that"
But, when I type in, "IF <EXPRESSION> THEN", SUPRTOOL tells me that that is
an invalid expression. Am I missing something or are the kind people at
Robelle just trying to confuse the already confused?
Thanks and happy Thursday to all.
