Would appreciate proper syntax for the following "If Statement":

{IF {MERGEFIELD AlphaCode} = "A" or "B" or "C" or "D" or "E"
"TRUE" "FALSE"}

Thanks

Hello there,

Try this:

{IF {MERGEFIELD AlphaCode} = "A" "True" {IF {MERGEFIELD
AlphaCode} = "B" "True" {IF {MERGEFIELD AlphaCode}
= "C" "True" {IF {MERGEFIELD AlphaCode} = "D" "True" {IF
{MERGEFIELD AlphaCode} = "E" "True" "False" }}}}}

Hope this helps

Judith

Unfortunately you can't do it that way round.

There are several ways you could try this, e.g.

{ IF { MERGEFIELD AlphaCode } = "A"
"TRUE"
"{ IF { MERGEFIELD Alphacode } = "B"
"TRUE" "FALSE" }" }

but extended to C, D and E, or

{ IF { ={ COMPARE { MERGEFIELD AlphaCode } = "A" }+{ COMPARE { MERGEFIELD
AlphaCode } = "B" }+{ COMPARE { MERGEFIELD AlphaCode } = "C" } } > 0 "TRUE"
"FALSE" }

also extended to D and E.
