Smartform If statement

Former Member — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 10:35:10 GMT

I have created a work address field for an employee on my smartfrom.

None of the fields are mandatory so i would like my form to remove a line/carriage return if the field is blank.

I have tried to do it this way using the command option

IF NOT &P0006-STRAS& = ' '

&P0006-STRAS&

ENDIF

IF NOT &P0006-LOCAT& = ' '

&P0006-LOCAT&

ENDIF

Etc.....

Is there an simple way to do this or am i missing anything that may be causing this not to work?

can't you use the conditional output for your requirement?

Can you elaborate on this ?

In smartforms, the text field have a 'Conditions' tab, you can set your condition there.

I have it set in the condition tab already, thats why im not sure why its not working

i had same requirement and achieved by this logic:

IF &P0006-STRAS& NOT initial AND

&P0006-LOCAT& NOT initial.

&P0006-STRAS& - &P0006-LOCAT&

ELSEIF &P0006-STRAS& NOT initial AND

&P0006-LOCAT& IS initial.

&P0006-STRAS&

ELSEIF &P0006-STRAS& IS initial AND

&P0006-LOCAT& NOT initial.

&P0006-LOCAT&

ENDIF

use condition tab of text element only. in 2nd and 3rd if condition there will not be any line feed.
