Alastar, Yes you could. My point however was that current RBase syntax states when you used a variable in a comparison the ones on the left side should NOT be dotted. Currently RBase is very permissive in inforcing this rule.
Thus: SET VAR LftVar INTEGER = 1 SET VAR RgtVar INTEGER = 0 IF LftVar = .RgtVar THEN --- PROPER SYNTAX .. some commands it var equal ELSE .. some commands if var not equal ENDIF --- Following syntax probably run but RStyle warns that "LftVar" should --- not be dotted. IF .LftVar = .RgtVar THEN .. some commands it var equal ELSE .. some commands if var not equal ENDIF Jim Bentley American Celiac Society [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: 1-504-737-3293 --- On Tue, 6/24/08, Alastair Burr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Alastair Burr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Custom Colors In Reports? > To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> > Date: Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 5:38 PM > Can you not reverse the logic? > > IF 0 >= .vBF4_OBLIGATED_CHANGE THEN > > Regards, > Alastair. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "James Bentley" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" > <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 10:01 PM > Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Custom Colors In Reports? > > > > Steve, > > > > Just an observation.
