Anyone experienced this?
Try evaluating the following formula.
{@If( 1 = 1 ; @Return(“A”) ; @Return(“B”))}
Works great in Evaluate() in LotusScript.
Fails in @Eval in formula language.
However,
{@If( 1 = 1 ; “A” ; “B”)}
does work as expected in both @Eval and Evaluate().
I can do this if i have to. Just a pain because I want some easy early exits when using @Eval().
Just seems that @Return() is not handled well by @Eval!

Perhaps it is working as intended. I have not tried it but Designer Help
indicates that the Return value
lastExpression
The value of the last expression.
So it may need to evaluate the entire set of expressions.

hey Cesar,
Could be. But I find that a tad odd. I would expect @Eval() and Evaluate() to behave consistently. Normally the last statement is always what is returned. Unless of course you use @Return earlier.
I would just like them to behave the same!
Thanks for your thoughts. They do show consistency with the documentation!

Apparently, @Return breaks you out of a formula, whatever formula you are in, all the way back out to where you’re not executing a formula anymore.
