HI ALL,
NEED HELP on If ....GOTO.

i have two if statements as:

-IF &XYZ EQ 0 THEN GOTO NOdata ELSE GOTO Data ;
and another similar If stmt is
-IF &ABC EQ 0 THEN GOTO NOdata ELSE GOTO Data ;

i need help on how to tie these above two statements.i mean how to use both &ABC and &XYZ in a single if stmt.

This is an OR statement that works similarly for any programming language:

-IF &XYZ EQ 0 OR &ABC EQ 0 GOTO NOdata ELSE GOTO Data;

or
-IF &XYZ EQ 0 GOTO NOdata ELSE 
- IF &ABC EQ 0 GOTO NOdata ELSE GOTO Data;

I would always suggest using parentheses, as this forces the order of evaluation.
-IF (&XYZ EQ 0) OR (&ABC EQ 0) GOTO NOdata ELSE GOTO Data;

swati, the IF structure seemed simple enough. If you still have trouble going where you want to go, try -SET &ECHO = ALL to see how DM interpret you IF statement. You will be suprised that...
FOC_NONE <> 'FOC_NONE'
'ABC' <> 'ABC ' or ABC <> 'ABC'
null string <> blanks

IF and ELSE IF is safe than OR in some cases
