Here is a snippit of the ECHO ALL code. Essentially I wanted to test the current 2 digit month. If July, Goto one section of code, If any other month, go elsewhere. It appears '07' does not equal '07' and I have no idea why? I tried both 'EQ" and '='. WF is teling me '07' is apparently not equal to '07'
.
.
.

-SET &MTH0 = EDIT(20150720,'$$$$99') ;

.
.
.
-IF '&MTH0' = '07' THEN GOTO DEFINEWRVUSJUL
- ELSE GOTO FINISHLINE;



here is what is echo'd back:

-IF '07' = '07' THEN GOTO DEFINEWRVUSJUL
- ELSE GOTO FINISHLINE;
-FINISHLINE
END

In your -IF statement, please use EQ, not =.

It may work now,. but it may not work in future releases.

You are testing the value "&MTH0" rather than "07".

Use one of the following.

-IF &MTH0 EQ '07' THEN....
(without quotes)

or

-IF '&MTH0.EVAL' EQ '07' THEN.....
(with quotes)

The issue more or less comes down to when the variable is evaluated verses when dialog manager executes.
