Can anyone see what is wrong with this code, it should be going to the PSYCEND and I can't seem to get it to work.

-IF (&MAJCRI EQ Y) AND (&MAJOR EQ 'Psychology') GOTO PSYCEND;

-IF (&MAJCRI EQ Y) AND (&MAJOR EQ 'Sociology' OR 'Sociology/Appl Social Relation') GOTO SOCOEND;

WHERE ( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_TERM_CODE LE '&TERM' ) AND ( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_SUBJ_CODE EQ &SUBJ )  AND ( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_CRSE_NUMB GE '&CRSE' )AND (( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_REPEAT_COURSE_IND NE 'A' OR 'E' ) OR ( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_REPEAT_COURSE_IND IS MISSING)) AND ( J2.SHRGRDE.SHRGRDE_LEVL_CODE EQ 'UG' ) AND ( J2.SHRGRDE.SHRGRDE_GPA_IND EQ 'Y' );
-GOTO ENDWHERE

-PSYCEND
WHERE AHCourse NE 'PSY100' OR 'PSY480' OR 'PSY491' OR 'PSY496' OR 'PSY497' OR 'PSY498';
-GOTO ENDWHERE

-SOCOEND
WHERE AHCourse EQ 'SOC100' OR 'SOC201' OR 'SOC300' OR 'SOC350' OR 'SOC351' OR 'SOC400';
-GOTO ENDWHERE

-ENDWHERE


I get the following when I run it and the &ECHO=ALL


 -IF (Y EQ Y) AND ('Psychology' EQ 'Psychology') GOTO PSYCEND;
 -IF (Y EQ Y) AND ('Psychology' EQ 'Sociology' OR 'Sociology/Appl Social Relation') GOTO SOCOEND;
 WHERE ( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_TERM_CODE LE '201940' ) AND ( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_SUBJ_CODE EQ 'PSY' )  AND ( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_CRSE_NUMB GE '_FOC_NULL' )AND (( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_REPEAT_COURSE_IND NE 'A' OR 'E' ) OR ( J0.SHRTCKN.SHRTCKN_REPEAT_COURSE_IND IS MISSING)) AND ( J2.SHRGRDE.SHRGRDE_LEVL_CODE EQ 'UG' ) AND ( J2.SHRGRDE.SHRGRDE_GPA_IND EQ 'Y' );
 -GOTO ENDWHERE
 -ENDWHERE

Would it make a difference if you say THEN GOTO PSYCEND; ?

Can you test this and see if it works? Also what version of WebFOCUS are you running?
  
-SET &ECHO=ALL;
-DEFAULT &MAJCRI='Y'
-DEFAULT &MAJOR= 'Psychology'
-IF (&MAJCRI EQ Y) AND (&MAJOR EQ 'Psychology') GOTO PSYCEND;
-TYPE DIDN'T WORK
-GOTO ENDWHERE
-PSYCEND
-TYPE IT WORKED
-ENDWHERE

Could it be as simple as putting tick marks around the 'Y'....


-IF (&MAJCRI EQ 'Y') AND (&MAJOR EQ 'Psychology') GOTO PSYCEND;


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Not sure where the parameters are set, but this could also help:

-IF (&MAJCRI.EVAL EQ Y) AND (&MAJOR.EVAL EQ 'Psychology') GOTO PSYCEND;

This seems to be an area that recurs in posts, so I thought that it would be useful to add a document link -

Is that your entire code?

I suspect that you may have a dialog-manager statement before, that requires a terminating semi-colon and doesn't have one. Probably a -SET or a -DEFAULT.

If that is the case, the statement continues on into your -IF line and terminates at that semi-colon.

The next -IF line is evaluated properly, but of course the condition does not evaluate true.

In this specific case the give-away is the quotes around the translation of the &MAJOR variable in the output of the echo.
Apparently the variable comes in to the procedure including the quotes. And then you compare it with a value without quotes, where, of course, it is decided that both are not equal.
So either remove the quotes from the variable before comparing, or compare to a value with the extra quotes added.
The latter:
-IF (&MAJCRI EQ Y) AND (&MAJOR EQ '''Psychology''') GOTO PSYCEND;


And, personally, I'd advise to keep the code as tidy as possible. In my fex this code would be:
-IF (&MAJCRI EQ 'Y') AND (&MAJOR EQ '''Psychology''') THEN GOTO PSYCEND;

Your solution was correct, thank you. I don't know how you figured it out from the echo though since both sides of the equal sign had quotes.
