I tested both your scenarios in my database here using 10.5 Enterprise, current
build.
These work:
UPDATE testklt3 SET columntext = (IFF('columnint IN (1,2,3)','Q1','xx'))UPDATE
testklt3 SET columntext = (IFF('columnint = 4','Q1','xx'))
Neither of these works, I get the same parenthesis error. So it fails with any
nesting command that I tried:
UPDATE testklt3 SET columntext = (IFF('columnint IN (1,2,3)','Q1',
(IFF('columnint IN (4,5,6)','Q2','XX'))))UPDATE testklt3 SET columntext =
(IFF('columnint IN (1,2,3)','Q1', (IFF('columnint = 4','Q2','XX'))))

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - IFF Function Quandry
I tried a simple nesting of the IFF as I have nested IFEQ IFLT ect before. This
worked
SET VAR v1 INTEGER = 1
SET VAR v2 INTEGER = 2
SET VAR v3 INTEGER = 3
SET VAR v4 = (IFF('.v1>.v2','1',(IFF('.v3<.v1','2','3'))))
RETURN
I've yet to try with an IN statement though

Do we know for sure that you can nest IFF statements? I've never tried it.
Maybe test first by replacing the second IFF with a simple "IFEQ" statement
just to test if that works

The trxMonth and trxQuarter columns are each defined as TEXT (2).
This statement:
UPDATE fts_input_tt +SET trxQuarter = +(IFF('trxMonth IN (1,2,3)','Q1','xx'))
... correctly updates trxQuarter with value Q1 where the value of trxMonth is
in (1,2,3) and with 'xx' for all other values of trxMonth.
This statement:
UPDATE fts_input_tt +SET trxQuarter = +(IFF('trxMonth IN (1,2,3)','Q1',
+(IFF('trxMonth IN (4,5,6)','Q2','XX'))))
... returns the error:
Parentheses required around the list of items for the IN clause. (2304)
... and aborts the UPDATE.
???
