Hi

can i Use multiple WHEN condition in my stylesheet.
I need to put two condition together

WHEN=A EQ B AND WHEN =C EQ 'abc'

is there any solution to use two condition together.
I tried to use
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=P1,FOCEXEC=joe,WHEN=A EQ 1,$
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=P1,FOCEXEC=frank,WHEN=B EQ 2,$

but it not applies both condition together

You have to do a COMPUTE (or DEFINE)like

ctrl /I2 = IF (A EQ B) AND (C EQ 'abc') THEN 0 ELSE 1;

and then your formatting:

TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=P1,FOCEXEC=joe,WHEN=ctrl EQ 1,$
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=P1,FOCEXEC=frank,WHEN=ctrl EQ 0,$


Thanks Michael
I tried your code in my pdf format but its not working...
Condition are fine formatting section is not reflected in my report.

Please suggest

what Michael suggested is the technique to use.

If something is not working for you, I'd suggest that you post your code (just the relevant pieces) for us to take a look. Better yet, try and replicate the issue using a TABLE FILE CAR statement and post it here.

Just a question, are you declaring the "control" field in a COMPUTE or DEFINE statement? If DEFINE, make sure to add the field to your TABLE FILE request using NOPRINT.

Now, try also to declare your control field using an alpha type instead of numbers, the reason being that if you declare it in a DEFINE but you're using a SUM verb, your field will be aggregated and therefore your WHEN=ctrl EQ 0 clause may never be true.

here's a working example:

SET BYDISPLAY=ON

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
SALES
COMPUTE CONDITION1/A10 = 
     IF COUNTRY EQ 'JAPAN' THEN '1' 
ELSE IF MODEL EQ 'TR7' THEN '2'
ELSE '3'; NOPRINT

BY COUNTRY
BY MODEL

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=P1,FOCEXEC=JOE,WHEN=CONDITION1 EQ '1', $
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=P1,FOCEXEC=FRANK,WHEN=CONDITION1 EQ '2', $
ENDSTYLE
END
