want multiple operations executed in if condition

[ahila]

hai all,
i want to do multiple operations depending on If condition in a Transformer stage. what are the delimiters used in between the if... then... else constraint i tried to my level, can someone guide me ?

The delimiters are spaces or, for formatting, you can use shift-return. IF condition THEN assignment ELSE IF condition THEN assignment ELSE assignment

Welcome aboard. There are no necessary delimiters. The entire If..Then..Else construct can be (and usually is) a single string.

Code: Select all

If test_expression Then expression1 Else expression2

The value generated by test_expression (true or false) determines whether the result of expression1 or the result of expression2 is the overall result of the If..Then..Else expression.

i want to assign 4 different values depending on a category. if i insert the second assignment in the first IF error occurs please help.
OR shall i use simple IF 's than nested IF conditions ?

[ray.wurlod]

There are no assignments. For example

Code: Select all

If (condition = 0) Then "A" Else If (condition = 1) Then "B" Else If (condition = 2) Then "C" Else "D"

The parentheses are not necessary; I included them only for clarity.
