Problem with if statement

Former Member — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:56:48 GMT

I am using a if statement like

if n = 'times'

else.

endif.

N is a parameter defined on screen..Now if the user enters TIMES (caps lock on) ideally it should pass the condition ( Upper case doesnt make any difference in my program ) But it is failing because of IF statement being case sensitive.

How should I make my IF statement case insensitive... ie whether user enters 'times' or 'TIMES' it should pass the condition??

HI Priya,

If you have already hardcoded the condition with small letters, then simply translate the N value with small letters & then pass to if condition.

translate N lowercase.

if n = 'times'
{ exp}
else.
{ exp }
endif.

Best regards,

Prashant

instead of n = 'times'

use

n eq 'times'

nd what did u declare n as

is n a character or string

if u declared n as string

then use n eq times

hi,

to your select-parameter give lower-case,

what ever the user enters TIMES ot times it accepts lin lower case and you can pass the if condition.

parameter: p_file(255) type c lower case.

Translate the value in upper case before passing it to if condition.
