The INPUT command reads the input as a string. Comparing that string to
an integer doesn't work. To convert the string to an integer, you will
need to dereference it in a SETVAR:
SETVAR USER_INT !USER
You might want to precede that with IF NUMERIC(USER) to make sure the
string contains only numeric data.

Subject: If statement
I am trying to create a small if statement and I can not seem to resolve
this error. I would appreciate any assistance.
Here is what I am doing.
!setvar user 0
!input user<ms1.files
!showvar user
!if user>3
!tell reggie,manager.sys user count is larger than 3
!endif
this is the error I am receiving.
217 :SETVAR user 0
218 :INPUT user<ms1.files
219 :SHOWVAR user
220 USER = 47
221
222 :IF user>3
223 ^
224 Unexpected character found in string. (CIERR 9815)
225 :TELL reggie,manager.sys user count is larger than 3
226 :ENDIF
227 This ENDIF command does not have a corresponding IF.
228 The ENDIF is ignored. (CIWARN 1747)
229 :EOJ
