IF statement in SMARTFORMS

dp_prasad — Thu, 25 May 2006 07:32:24 GMT

Hi ,

My IF statement dosnt seems to work in smartforms.I have the following code in window-text element .

if &adrc-name1& ne ' '.

&adrc-name1&

endif.

if &adrc-name2 ne ' '.

&adrc-name2&

endif

...

But still its creating the blank lines on script output.I cannot use the Condition tab as im using much code inside this text element. Any suggestion on How to use the IF condition INSIDE the Smartforms to avoid the blank lines of address to be generated on the output.

Thanks for your augegstion.

GOOD

YOU HAVE TO GIVE THIS CODE BY CREATING A PROGRAM LINE NODE IN THE TEXT ELEMENT.

IF YOU GIVE THIS IN THE TEXT ELEMENT IT WONT WORK.

THANKS

In SMART Forms you should use the ADDRESS OBJECT, rather than trying to print the address manually. It will take care of the blank lines.

If you do not want to use ADDRESS..

you can use CONDITION tab of the text..

Create 2 texts.. ADD1-> one which contains NAME1 but not NAME2 and the other one ADD2 which contains NAME2 but not NAME1 ...

Now.. click on the text ADD1 .. Go to conditions tab.. give the fieldname as NAME2 Choose '=' in the Relational Operator.. SPACE

DO the same for the second text also..

When ur writing the test elemnent in the condition give the initial condition check, this will work similar to the IF statemnet as u have designed.

Hope it helps

I don't think there is any such option.

did you try using the address object that I mentioned?

Hi,

Inside the Address Window-> create->Flowlogic->Alternative.

Alternative:ADRC

Description: <>SPACE?

General Attributes:

Field name

ADRC-NAME1 notequal to SPACE.

In the true condition:

&adrc-name1&

In the false condition:

&adrc-name2&

I am not sure if this is your requirement. Let me know if this works fine.

You can also use programming lines to put in your code.

Anjali

Hi,

In the Address object did you try specifying the no. of lines of address to be specified. The field is a part of the Additional Address specifications.
