So it's pretty simple, so it seems.. I've never done the following and I can't find any examples of this type of behavior, so I'm wondering if this is even possible. I have the following code at the top of a fex chart.

-DEFAULT &PORT_SUMRY_TYPE = 'Conforming';
-DEFAULT &NONCONFORMFLAG = 0;

-IF(&PORT_SUMRY_TYPE EQ 'Conforming') THEN
-SET &NONCONFORMFLAG = 0;
-IF(&PORT_SUMRY_TYPE EQ 'Non-Conforming') THEN
-SET &NONCONFORMFLAG = 4;
-IF(&PORT_SUMRY_TYPE EQ 'Home Equity') THEN
-SET &NONCONFORMFLAG = 1;


With everything commented out I get the following error..

0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE      9  IN PROCEDURE LoanCountByInvestorByMonth
 (FOC303) CONTROL LINE NOT RECOGNIZED IN FOCEXEC: -IF(&PORT_SUMRY_TYPE EQ
 'Conforming') THEN

The IF ... THEN ... ELSE clause goes within the -SET command.

-SET &myVar = IF ( some condition ) THEN some_value
- ELSE IF ( another condition ) THEN a different value
- ELSE another value;

Hi Gavin,

Place your IFs within your dialogue manager -SET statement -

-SET &NONCONFORMFLAG = IF(&PORT_SUMRY_TYPE EQ 'Conforming') THEN 0
-                 ELSE IF(&PORT_SUMRY_TYPE EQ 'Non-Conforming') THEN 4
-                 ELSE IF(&PORT_SUMRY_TYPE EQ 'Home Equity') THEN 1 ELSE 99;

Another example using DECODE ...

-*
-DEFAULT &PORT_SUMRY_TYPE = 'Conforming';
-*
-SET &NONCONFORMFLAG = DECODE &PORT_SUMRY_TYPE (
- 'Conforming' 0
- 'Home Equity' 1
- 'Non-Conforming' 4
- ELSE 99
-);
-*
-TYPE PORT_SUMRY_TYPE -------- &PORT_SUMRY_TYPE
-TYPE NONCONFORMFLAG --------- &NONCONFORMFLAG
-*

....or

if you need to SET more than one parameter
-IF &VALUE EQ 1 THEN CONTINUE ELSE GOTO ENDIF_VALUE_1;
-SET &PARAM... = 
-SET &PARAM... = 
-SET &PARAM... = 
...
-ENDIF_VALUE_1

-IF &VALUE EQ 2 THEN CONTINUE ELSE GOTO ENDIF_VALUE_2;
-SET &PARAM... = 
-SET &PARAM... = 
-SET &PARAM... = 
...
-ENDIF_VALUE_2

-IF &VALUE EQ 3 THEN CONTINUE ELSE GOTO ENDIF_VALUE_3;
-SET &PARAM... = 
-SET &PARAM... = 
-SET &PARAM... = 
...
-ENDIF_VALUE_3


Greets,
Dave

Thanks Dave,
Never used CONTINUE in 33 years of FOCUS!
Which goes to show that one should read and re-read (and re-read...) the manual.
