How to use OR in a 'case' or 'if' statement in AL?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by jdrco 479

I get this error:
Operator 'OR' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Text' and 'Text'

When I try to write this if statement in AL:
if ActivityNo = 'DA' OR 'SA' then begin
end;

Is there no way of using logical disjunction between text?

    Good to know. Any way to use OR in a case statement? (just for future reference)

    Try it as

    if (ActivityNo = ‘DA’) or (ActivityNo = ‘SA’)
