Clarification in Evaluate

Abirami.YN · Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 6:04 pm

Hi,

Can we perform the evaluate function as below?

EVALUATE X

WHEN 1 THRU 5 COMPUTE X =X+1
WHEN 6 THRU 10 COMPUTE X= X+2
WHEN GREATER THAN EQUAL TO 11 COMPUTE X = X+3

END-EVALUATE.

Thanks,
Abirami

Hi Abirami,

To my understanding your code works fine.

Please check my attachment for more information on EVALUATE VERB.

hi there,

Your code is fine and it should working an dif you r sure that the value of X can never be zero or less than zero than you can use

EVALUATE X

WHEN 1 THRU 5 COMPUTE X =X+1
WHEN 6 THRU 10 COMPUTE X= X+2
WHEN OTHER COMPUTE X = X+3

END-EVALUATE.

Hi muffirulz,

In this case "X" has to be positive(excluding ZERO).

Hope this helps.

I dont think it will work..the last when will fail.

change to

EVALUATE TRUE

WHEN x>0 and X < 6
COMPUTE X =X+1
WHEN x>5 and x <11
COMPUTE X= X+2
WHEN x > 10
COMPUTE X = X+3

END-EVALUATE.

the option given by muffirulz also works.

That code doesn't work for me....

Hi muffirulz,

I too have given the same suggestion but instead of saying x>0 I mentioned excluding ZERO. I thought others might have got the point.

Anyways thanks for posting it clearly.
