I'm not sure why there's this common misperception that you have to have
these really long rules that specify every page in every case. If you
mark all the pages, except for the one that's always included, as unused
initially, as Lauren suggests, then you don't need to set their usages
to false again each time. All you have to do is turn on the one you
want for each record. So the rule gets much simpler:
if (Field("SALUTATION") == "ENG.EPS")
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("English_Front",true);
else if (Field("SALUTATION") == "RUS.EPS")
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Russian_Front",true);
else if (Field("SALUTATION") == "POL.EPS")
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Polish_Front",true);
else if (Field("SALUTATION") == "POR.EPS")
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Portuguese_Front",true);
else if (Field("SALUTATION") == "SPA.EPS")
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Spanish_Front",true);
else if (Field("SALUTATION") == "VIE.EPS")
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Vietnamese_Front",true);
else
Print("Could not find a body page to match Salutation: " +
Field("SALUTATION"));
I'm not sure why there's this common misperception that you always have
to have these really long rules that specify every page every time.
Of course, all these "else if"s can be simplified with a switch
statement:
var PageName = "";
switch (ToUpper(Field("SALUTATION")))
{
case "ENG.EPS":
PageName = "English_Front"; break;
case "RUS.EPS":
PageName = "Russian_Front"; break;
case "POL.EPS":
PageName = "Polish_Front"; break;
case "POR.EPS":
PageName = "Portuguese_Front"; break;
case "SPA.EPS":
PageName = "Spanish_Front"; break;
case "VIE.EPS":
PageName = "Vietnamese_Front"; break;
}
if (PageName)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(PageName, true);
else
Print("Could not find a body page to match Salutation: " +
Field("SALUTATION"));
return PageName; // for validation
Or, even more succinctly, you could create a simple mapping:
var SalToPageMap =
{
"ENG.EPS" : "English_Front",
"RUS.EPS" : "Russian_Front",
"POL.EPS" : "Polish_Front",
"POR.EPS" : "Portuguese_Front",
"SPA.EPS" : "Spanish_Front",
"VIE.EPS" : "Vietnamese_Front",
};
var PageName = SalToPageMap[ToUpper(Field("SALUTATION"))];
if (PageName)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(PageName, true);
else
Print("Could not find a body page to match Salutation: " +
Field("SALUTATION"));
return PageName; // for validation
You can see how this is easily extensible to add more language types.
