Receipt XML

[Ed Raney]

I am attempting to have a gift receipt that prints only the items with the
GIFT Sales Rep assigned. I understand that you cannot do an IF statement to
compare a
variable against a string. Instead you have to compare the variable to
another
variable which contains the string you're checking for. This seems to work
for Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode but always returns true for Entry.SalesRep.Name.

Any ideas?

Ed,

I'm pretty sure that can't be done.

Hi Jeff,

Do you know why it can not be done? The condition check works for the
ItemLookupCode.

Thank you,
Ed

Hi Afshin,

Thank you very much for the tip of defining the GiftRep as a double and
comparing it to a string. This seems to work in the tests performed thus far.

Thank you,
Ed

=====================================

Dear Ed,

If you want the receipt to work change this. The variable
Entry.Salesrep.Name is empty. Hence it is not working. We need to use the
variable Entry.Salerep.Number.
Please see the code below.

<FOR each="entry">
<SET name="GiftRep" type="vbDouble"> 1 </SET>
<IF>
<CONDITION>Entry.Salesrep.Number = GiftRep </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW>
Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|"
Entry.Item.Description "|" "XXXX"
</ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
</FOR>

Regards
Afshin
