Hi All,
What is the correct syntax for the following (this is my current attempt!)
If (expr goes here)
BEGIN
WHILE Var1 < Var2
BEGIN
Do Something here
END --While
ELSE
BEGIN
WHILE Var1 < Var2
BEGIN
Do Something different here
END --While

Every Begin needs and END

If (expr goes here)

BEGIN

WHILE Var1 < Var2

BEGIN

Do Something here

END --While

END

ELSE

BEGIN

WHILE Var1 < Var2

BEGIN

Do Something different here

END --While

END

Sorry, I missed that off when I typed the code in, I do have that extra END datement in but I am getting an error

I added 2 ENDs

one right before the ELSE and one at the very end.

I tried to space it out so it was legible but the spaces got removed from the post.

Adam,

In the future, it would help greatly if you post the error that you are getting. This was an easy one, but if you know the error, why not post it and help those who are attempting to help you? Just a thought.....
