Panel - Verify whether the field is blank or not

som_infotech · Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2009 2:08 am

I've designed the below popup screen and it has 2 fields. Using Ver() we can verify whether the field is blank or not. But my requirement is to check at least anyone of them has values.

Panel:
********* VERIFIER ********

ENTER THE PACKAGE 1 NO: _____
( - OR - )
ENTER THE PACKAGE 2 NO: _____

VER(&SPID,NB)
VER(&IPID,NB)

As per above code in the panel it will check both the fields are not blank but I need to check whether at least one of them is non blank.

I tried the above statement but it was giving RC 20 - i.e An ELSE in column '6' did not match a previous IF statement. An ELSE in column '6' did not match a previous IF statement

Hi,

had I pasted what I had tested, it would have been ok,
instead I re-aligned the ELSE statement, so here we go again

I didnt enter any values on the screen, I just pressed enter.
It throwed error message. But the pointer was placed on second field.
