Hi,

 

I have a client where his calendar year starts April 2013.  Not January 2013.  So I built a script step in my Start Up script that SETs the Preference Field "Pref Begin Yr" to the current year only if ...

 

 

If

 

[ Month ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ≥ Preferences::Pref Begin Month and Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) ≠ Preferences::Pref Begin Yr ) ]

 

Set Field [ Preferences::Pref Begin Yr; Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) ]

 

End If 

 

This is how i read this script step:

 

1 ( current month ) ≥ 4 ( preference month  )   and   2013 ( current year ) ≠ 2012 ( preference year )

 

The set field should not SET, but is does  How can this expression be valid when 1 is obviously less than 4.  Maybe I don't really understand the "AND". 

 

Do I put:   Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) ≠ Preferences::Pref Begin Yr )  in parentheses " (  ....  )" ??

 

Any guidance here would be grateful.  Thank you.

At first glance, it looks like you have misplaced parentheses.

 

Move the last ) to just after the first Get(CurrentDate), to get:

 

[ Month ( Get ( CurrentDate )  ) ≥ Preferences::Pref Begin Month and Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) ≠ Preferences::Pref Begin Yr  ]

Yeah ... boy what a dope, I looked at that thing for three hours.

 

I see it!

 

Thank you :-)
