Nested IF Else Statement

[hamid]

Hi,

Why the script bellow is failling in qlik sense , i'm expecting it returns "Step 1"

if 1=1 then
    If 1=1 then
      Trace Step 1;
     else
        Trace Step 2;
     End If
Else
Trace Step 3;
End If;

This does trace 'Step 1' to the reload log. Is that what you want it to do?

hi @hamid 

the script returns an error or it completes but with an unexpected result?

Hello,

it returns an error :

The following error occurred:

The control statement is not correctly matched with its corresponding start statement

The error occurred here:

Else

I attched the error message, want to figure out with you what"s the issue of using the syntaxe

Works as expected:

If 1=1 then If 1=1 then Trace Step 1; else Trace Step 2; End If Else Trace Step 3; End If;

Make sure you don't have anything else before it that interferes. Based on the error message, I believe this to be the case.

In your screenshot, you can actually see "Trace 1" in the log.

Hi @hamid 

do you have an Exit Script; instruction followed by some other code?

The script is working now, i pasted it in a new app, it seems that it was taking into account the other parts of the script that was after the "Exit script" !!

Ok ! lesson learned 🙂 thank you for you support all.
