-SET &ECHO = 'ALL';
-SET &CNT1 = 1;
-SET &DOM2 = 'S3432123';
-SET &DOM1 = '''';
-SET &DOM1 = IF &CNT1 GT 0 THEN  &DOM1 | TRUNCATE('&DOM2.EVAL')| ''' OR '''  ELSE &DOM1 | TRUNCATE('&DOM2.EVAL')| ''';

Each of the posts that you've raised so far are likely to have been because of code tightening - e.g the code you are using in 7.6 is not to the documented syntax but works. In 7.7 the parser has been tightened up to stop incorrect syntax being used.

You need to review these "problems" with regards to documented syntax rather than just post and wait for someone to fix it for you. Not only could it be quicker for you to review and fix the incorrect code yourself, but you might learn that some repetative coding "styles" appear within your code. Then you'll be in a better position to react quickly in their resolution.

Good luck.

Two observations,

1. The ''' at the end of the line is wrong.
2. You don't need to use quotes and .EVAL with truncate.

Also, you need to start trying some debugging like splitting the IF THEN ELSE into parts to see which bit is causing the error.

Ah, the "code tightening"... something to look forward to when moving up from 7.6.11...
