I need to know how to do that. Basically I am using code like
#IF (me=%lower(me)) {#SH Good}
but I also need it to check to see if 7<9. So in other words needs to be
#IF (me=%lower(me) AND 7<9) {#SH good}
Right now no matter what I do, as long as the first statement passes the test it works, ad das not good for me. Pls help?

I use nested #IFs.

First I assume me is a variable, so it should be @me. I'm also assuming the check for 7<9 is a dummy thing to force it to work.

#IF (@me=%lower(@me) {


   #ECHO We passed the first test.


   #IF (7<9) {


      #ECHO Ok, we passed the second test, too.


      } {


      #ECHO Ok, we failed the second test.


   } {


   #ECHO We failed the first test, so never checked the next test


   }

Make sense?

I was unable to reproduce your problem. Could you provide the exact script in question please.

Never trust what you believe to be the order of operation in any language on logic tests. In every language I work with I follow that rule and take the time to put the paranthesis.

#IF (("me"=%lower("me"))&(7<9)) {#SH good}

Also it is well worth it to take the time to put the quotes around all string references, except @Variable.

me = %lower(me) This is TRUE
7 < 9 This is also TRUE
If you want to get a FALSE condition you should use a statement that isn't TRUE.
