Need help with If statement...

[spazus_maximus]

hello,

I am having trouble getting if/then statements to work for me.
In excel it would look like this:

=IF((A1>0.001),"PASS","FAIL")

I am trying to get something like this in pcdmis:

IF((CIR1.X.MEAS>1.00),"MEASUREMENT ERROR DETECTED","MASTER VALIDATION PASSED")

Any guidance on this is appreciated
thanks!!

Use If and else if.

Here is an example, I don't use else if in PCDMIS because I think it is kind of dumb that you have to give it an argument, else should be just that what to do if the argument condition in the if line is not met. Basically else in PCDMIS is the same as an if statement dumb, very dumb. I heard if I use cad these code inconsitencies will go away but I digress........

DIM SIZE_CIR1= LOCATION OF CIRCLE CIR1  UNITS=IN ,$
GRAPH=OFF  TEXT=OFF  MULT=1.00  OUTPUT=BOTH
AX    MEAS   NOMINAL    +TOL     -TOL      DEV    OUTTOL 
D    0.9848   0.9847   0.0005   0.0005   0.0001   0.0000 -----#---
END OF DIMENSION SIZE_CIR1
            IF/SIZE_CIR1.D.OUTTOL <> 0
            COMMENT/OPER,"NICE JOB BUBBA, HOW'S YOUR JANITORIAL SKILLS?"
            END_IF/
            ELSE_IF/SIZE_CIR1.D.OUTTOL == 0
            COMMENT/OPER,"AMAZING, SO YOU CAN MAKE A GOOD PART"
            END_ELSEIF/

Close but not there yet........

Craig,

I need a report comment rather than the operator comment..This is where i have the problem If i use the else\if both comments show up in report. Maybe i could mark a comment based on conditional statement???

[craiger_ny]

An operator comment will not come up if your argument fails it will only come up when it evaluates to true. Else in PCDMIS is really just an if end if evaluation. What do you get when you evealuate it with two if end ifs. One condition would check for > 1.00 another would check for <= 1.00. It should work.

[spazus_maximus]

It does work with operator comments..

I just cant get it to work with report comments

[craiger_ny]

No? I'll have to try it. Seems to me it does. If it does not you can workk around it by assigning what message you want into a variable based on a conditional statement and then put that variable in your comment. That I know for sure will work.

[spazus_maximus]

I believe i will have to work around it with a set of variables.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks Craig!

Craig,
You were right! The rept/comments only show up on the full report not the last execution report. Thanks for your help!!
