Hello,

I had a question on EVALUATE statement. I am aware that, there can be multiple condition check in WHEN clause with usage of ALSO verb.

My question is that, I have a requirement in WHEN clause, I want to compare single and multiple conditions single EVALUATE statement.
E.g.
EVALUATE TRUE
WHEN A
MOVE 'AAAA' TO OUT-PUT
WHEN A ALSO B
MOVE 'AABB' TO OUT-PUT
WHEN A ALSO D
MOVE 'AADD' TO OUT-PUT
WHEN B ALSO D
MOVE 'BBDD' TO OUT-PUT
WHEN OTHER
MOVE 'OTHER' TO OUT-PUT
END-EVALUATE.

So, my question is, can we have WHEN condition for single comparison and multiple comparison. (actually, I have coded like this, but its not working, may I am doing something wrong or it is not possible)

can someone suggest to handle the situation above. Thank you for your help.

Tks, YV

Suggest you check in the Language Reference. You'll need TRUE ALSO TRUE on the EVALUATE, you'll also have to be very careful of the order. Your WHEN A ALSO B and A ALSO D will never be true, because you've already got WHEN A (for which you'll need ALSO ANY).
