I am running R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32) version 9.5.4.30626.

Here’s some additional code and comments that should explain more clearly.

SET QUOTES="
.
.
  SET VARIABLE voerrorn TEXT =" "   -- (single space)
  SET VARIABLE voerrore TEXT =" "
  SET VARIABLE voerrord TEXT =" "
.
.
  IF (vousage > 23) AND (measure = "HR") THEN – (vousage = 1665 in my test 
sample)
    SET VARIABLE voerrore = "E"
  ELSE
    SET VARIABLE voerrore = " "
  ENDIF
.
.
  IF voerrore <> " " or  voerrord <> " " or voerrorn <> " " THEN
    INSERT INTO totalusage VALUES +
    (.vocrew,.vodatex, .vocr_page, .vodotno, .vobegeqp, +
    .voend1, .voend2, .voend3, .voend4, .vodnidle, .vousage, +
    .voerrorn, .voerrore, .voerrord,.voeqpdesc)
  ENDIF
ENDWHILE
DROP CURSOR c#1

What do you mean by " "?  Is there a physical space between those quotes, or do 
you mean "IS NULL"?   And if it is a physical space, yet your null is set to " 
", then there's another conflict.   If you mean null, then I would use the "IS 
NULL" in your if.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Logic error on if statement
In the following code, I know that the value of voerrore is “E”, voerrorn is “ 
“ and voerrord is “ “.  I have tried several different ways of expressing this 
(NE instead of <>, using parens both for the entire if clause and each 
condition separately).  Everything I have tried causes a false condition for 
the IF statement and jumps to the ENDWHILE.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing 
wrong or suggest another way of expressing this?
  IF voerrore <> " " or  voerrord <> " " or voerrorn <> " " THEN
    INSERT INTO totalusage VALUES +
    (.vocrew,.vodatex, .vocr_page, .vodotno, .vobegeqp, +
    .voend1, .voend2, .voend3, .voend4, .vodnidle, .vousage, +
    .voerrorn, .voerrore, .voerrord,.voeqpdesc)
  ENDIF
ENDWHILE
DROP CURSOR c#1
