Zugg Software :: View topic - Having problems calling an alias through trigger

I have an if statement in a trigger that calls to an alias, unfortunately it won't call the alias. The statement looks like this

#IF (@TOTAL] < 14) {aff} {#SA Done!}

It skips past the alias and goes right to the end. is there a special character im supposed to insert to call the alias in the trigger? Ill insert something besides aff and it will execute it, but when i put aff back it doesn't do anything.

Your problem is probably the ending square bracket. Is that a typo and if not have you noticed this with other #IF commands?

You can perhaps try preceding it with the quote character (~ by default), but I think you'll need to remove it completely from the variable name.
