hi,

Is there any way in C/AL to do something like this (conditional operator):

A = F>0 ? 'yes' : 'No' ; // java example

just one line, no complex IF statement.

thx

    The ?-:-Operater is not realized in C/AL.
    If it is possible to condition the result of a assignment like Belias posted then this is a short way otherwise you have no other chance than to code an IF-statement

    What's wrong with an IF statement?

    I think you meant: 
    IF it is possible to condition the result of a assignment like Belias posted THEN
  this is a short way 
ELSE
   you have no other chance than to code an IF-statement;

    Sorry just feeling a little silly just now.

    thx to all for reply.

    Inline conditional wold be very usefull for reports design...
    for instance in TextBox.SourceExpr , instead:
    ( ABS("Credit Amount")>0 ? "G/L Account No." : '' )
    i have to create prosthesis like this:
    COPYSTR("G/L Account No.",1,20*(STRLEN(FORMAT(ABS("Credit Amount")))-1))

    ("Credit Amount" appear number or empty)
    IF-statement in SourceExpr is not accepted.

    Any better ideas for conditional in SourceExpr ??
