compare always returns false

Jul 11, 2012 7:53 AM

can anyone see why this always returns false regardless of ObservedType??

<cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = false>

<cfif arguments.trade.ObservedType eq 'C'>

isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>

</cfif>

<cfif arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved>

isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>

</cfif>

When in doubt, look at your data. My technique is:

if (something)
output yes
else
output no and whatever I was checking.

By the way, what is this checking - <cfif arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved> ? Is that a boolean variable?

This code misses the cfset tag. You could try something like

<cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = false>
<cfif trim(arguments.trade.ObservedType) eq 'c' OR arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved>
     <cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>
</cfif>
