Good day,

I am looking for some advise on how to create a form letter that contains conditional sentences.

I have searched and saw where people said to put the text in the page header so I have done so. However, I am having issues with formatting it as isentences tend to fall off the page, so I just hit return and continued the sentence on the next line. Is this the proper way to do so, or have I missed something in the options? I have changed margins to .25 and told it to wrap.

For conditional sentences I have this:

IF YAGPA GT 0 THEN "You will also receive a lump sum in the amount of
But I receieve a parsing error when trying to run. Is it possible to put "If" statemnts in the page header? Should I put the text into a DEFINE variable and put the variable in the THEN section?

Thanks in advance for your advise.

One way of creating this type of From Letter is by creatin Text lines that will then print.
EG>

TEXT_1/A80=IF YAGPA GT 0 THEN 'You will also receive a lump sum in the amount of ' ELSE 'whatever';

Then in your Table File
PRINT LINE_1 etc.

In a page heading you can only use text or fields.
So, indeed, create a defined field that holds your conditional text, and use that defined field in the heading of your request.

Thanks for the info! That is exactly what I needed to know.
