#IF AmigaDos THEN FAILURE
2 messages in this thread
SomeOne PLeeze help.
I have spent hours on this and can't get it right. The Commodore manuals just
don't cut it!
Thanx, Zeddock
Below find 2 programs (scripts)
The first has the problem encased with ************, and remarks. It has to do
with the IF command in AmigaDos.
The second was my attempt to understand what IF wanted to evaluate correctly.
I have struck out on both.
Please enlighten me.
set echo on failat 21 stack 40000
hd0:system/rexxmast
delete maps:#?.map delete maps:#?.trace delete maps:weather.txt ;cd
data:scala/scripts/weather/progs
echo 0 >$isitOK cd sys:rexxc ;failat 11
rx data:scala/scripts/weather/progs/tv-3weather.ap
requestchoice "CONTINUE???" "Did the Download work correctly, and you want to
continue?" "YES|NO" >$isitOK
;************************************************************************
******* ;The above call sends a 0 or 1 to $isitOK. How can I do an IF
statement below to ;QUIT this script if $isitOK = 0? ; ;Example… ;IF $isitOK
EQ 0 then ; QUIT ; ENDIF ; ;I know this does not work… What am I doing
wrong??? ; ;
;*************************************************************************

echo 2 >$try2 type $try2

echo hi
endif

I really need help. I just don't get it!

I don't think the AmigaDOS 'IF' command will work if you use the word 'then'
with it (it doesn't need 'then', nor should you use it).
Try just:
IF $isitOK EQ 0
QUIT
ENDIF
Also, commands can't be separated on a single line with ';' like in ARexx. In
AmigaDOS, everything after a semicolon is ignored. Put the commands on separate
lines.
Further, you seem to be redirecting I/O to the wrong place for an environment
variable. Try this:
REQUESTCHOICE >ENV:$isitOK "CONTINUE???" "Did the Download work correctly, and
you want to continue?" "YES|NO"
In other words, put the '>' right after the command (not an absolute rule, but
this helps) and do _not_ omit the 'ENV:' from the redirection destination. You
had these problems in other lines than just the one above.
Hope this helps.
