Test variable to macro

[IvanCodin]

I can not get this to function. Can a macro be tested in an if statement like below:

$lockdate = "365" ; Use 90, 180, 270, 365 (assume no leap year)

MsgBox(0,"Info", "Lockdate is " & $lockdate & @CRLF & "Today is " & @YDAY, 5)

If @YDAY > $lockdate Then

MsgBox(0,"Info", "OK", "Good")

Else

MsgBox(0,"Error", "Application has Expired", "Goodbye!!", 5)

Exit

EndIf

I get an expression error that point to the @YDAY macro.

Yes, macros can be used anywhere an expression can appear.

What does the error say exactly?

[IvanCodin]

I get the follow error:

If @YDAY =< $lockdate Then

If ^ERROR

Error: Error in expression.

I checked and thought =< was a valid test. My syntax was wrong. I needed to use:

If @YDAY <= $lockdate Then

Thanks

My test always show the application has failed. Is @YDAY and $lockdate considered integers and can therefore be compared?

$lockdate = "360" ; Use 90, 180, 270, 365 (assume no leap year)

MsgBox(0,"Info", "Lockdate is " & $lockdate & @CRLF & "Today is " & @YDAY, 5)

If @YDAY >= $lockdate Then

MsgBox(0,"Info", "test", "Goodbye!!")

Else

MsgBox(0,"Error", "Application has Expired", "Goodbye!!")

Exit

EndIf

This works for me, but you have the forth parameter in the msgbox calls as a string but it should be an integer for the time out.
