Mike,
Your syntax is correct and should work. It does work outside of the WHILE
loop. This appears to be a bug in the WHILE loop function. It seems that you
can use IF statements within the WHILE loop, but cannot use the modifiers
AND & OR within the IF statement when contained in the loop. You can however
nest the IF statements within the WHILE loop as an alternative.

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] IF help
I'm trying to build in some logic testing using an IF test in the WHILE/ENDW
loop.
However, the IF keeps bombing.
If I test tl_len=32000 by itself it works and
if I test sideang=32000 by itself it works.
When I test the IF using an ,AND for both tl_len and sideang equal to 32000
is doesn't work!
Hmmm,,,
