code within an html form

[Pete]

Funny how 10 years ago I could sit down in a noisy room and type code no
problem.  Now...

 

I tried the changes, but the result is that up came "operator expected, but
not found".  

 

I checked again to make sure the Yr was a text and not a number, so that
isn't the problem. Thanks for your suggestion.

 

Pete

It looks like part of the problem might be that you are asking IF Yr greater
than a space....
change ?(Yr>" " tyo ?(Yr>"" might help.
and a similar thing on the end if condition is not met: change
{Name+?(Type="R","",?(Yr>""," ("+Yr+")"," "))} 
to
{Name+?(Type="R","",?(Yr>""," ("+Yr+")",""))} 

Those empty spaces can foul you up; I know mine do.

Hi: I am a little rusty on Panorama code, but I thought I was getting this
right.

 

What I am trying to do is put parentheses around  the text field "Yr" only
if there is a year in the field.  If the field is empty, then I don't want
anything showing up on the html form.  Here is what I have tried.  The code
words fine if I just put in the parenthesis statement without a condition.

 

{Name+?(Type="R","",?(Yr>" "," ("+Yr+")"," "))} 

 

Type is text that can be T, F or R.  If it is R, then there is no name
posted.  If there is a name and the year exists in the field, I want it to
look like this:

(10), so that I would have Jim Smith (10), if there is no year in the field,
it would just have Jim Smith.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
