@SetField in @If statements doesn't work

Hello,

Does anybody else has this problem?

@If(x=y;@SetField(“myField”;“myValue”);“”);

The @SetField doesn’t set the field to the value indicated. myField is an editable text field.

Thank you for any help.

Is myValue a literal string or a variable? If it’s a variable, then lose the quotation marks.

I have actually stopped using @SetField with ND6. I do this and it works…

@If(something=somthingelse; FIELD yadda := blah1; FIELD yadda := blah2)

been working fine so far !

I have add some more details to my issue. I have an @If within an @If like the following:

@If(x=“”;@Prompt(“something”);@If(x=y;@Prompt(something");@SetField(“myField”;“myValue”));

Thanks

Make sure you declare the fieldname first. Like:

FIELD MyField:=MyField;

@If(x=y;@SetField(“MyField”;“myValue”);“”)

That should no longer be necessary in ND6 (and tests okay for me without FIELD). There must be something else amiss with the formula.
